1950’s HAND MADE STRAW HAT

25” circumference. This hat was hand made from a continuous ¾” flat strand of plaited straw in a diamond shape. The strand was then rounded up, starting at the top and each overlay held together by stitches. For strength the rim is doubled with a narrow black velvet ribbon. Large black velvet ribbon also around the hat with 4 flowers made of straw. Natural straw color. Beautiful work. Still in very good condition to be over 6o years old.
