This is an elegant, stylish and understated pill box hat in a delicate pale grey shade with a slightly deeper shade of grey used for the full face net veil. The veil has been folded to be worn as a netting accent but the photos illustrate it can be worn both ways. It's a super little hat, dainty and understated and very on trend with the resurgence of popularity of simple pill box hats among members of the royal family. It is in excellent condition, little evidence of use or age deterioration, no marks or foxing. The hat is lined in a white silky fabric which is clean and looks unused. The brand label says C&A, a store no longer exisitng in the UK since the late 90s, and 100% viscose. It is 2.25" in height with a fine elastic to secure it to the head.
A gorgeous hat, very elegant and in a very wearable colour, on trend and a simple pill box is a style difficult to find currently in high street stores. The Princess of Wales has led the field in returning to wearing this simple style, as worn by Her Majesty back in the day and made famous by the late style icon Jackie Kennedy in the 60s, as First Lady of the US. Perfect for weddings, garden parties, Ascot or for vintage events...Perfect gift for her
