Description
Striking red and black felt hat by Elsa Schiaparelli! This structured hat has aristocratic eastern influences, resembling a cossack hat, a Manchurian hat, and a Qing dynasty winter court official hat! The hat has a black upturned brim that rises above the red crown in the front, and tapers to a narrow brim in the back; the interior of the brim is red. The brim features a delicate, thin, black, grosgrain ribbon with horizontal red stitching. The ribbon wraps around the hat entirely, appearing to originate from in between a notch in the brim at the back of the hat, and ending in a long, flat bow at the front. The body of the hat was made in Italy.

These American companies would then fabricate the items and sell them to clients stateside. Although this cap is not directly from their atelier in Europe, the design is authentically Balenciaga!
