Hat
Designer Eugénie Safontas
Not on view
The trend toward higher crowns for hats during the 1930s offered milliners an opportunity to revisit hat styles of earlier eras, including the begère style of the 1790s. A limited color palette makes the combination of textures a prominent element of this hat. Details of quality workmanship would have been expected by those shopping in Biarritz, a seaside resort favored by royals and the wealthy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
