Its plush surface, rounded crown, and generously turned-up brim create a striking frame for the face, while a small matching loop adds a subtle finishing detail.

Collector’s Notes

Leopard print had an established place in couture by 1947, when Christian Dior included two leopard-print dresses in his debut collection. This hat reflects the enduring appeal of animal pattern in statement accessories, pairing bold markings with a carefully shaped millinery silhouette.
