Huge Pale Pink Early 1950s Platter Hat With Feather Trim

1950s Pale Pink Platter Hat with Ostrich Feather Trim — Unicorn Piece

A truly extraordinary find, this 1950s platter hat is the kind of piece that rarely surfaces — a wide, sweeping brim in the softest pale pink, finished with a delicate fringe of ostrich feathers that catches the light with every movement. The brushed felt has a soft, almost downy texture below the feathers, with a slim velvet ribbon trim finished in a neat bow to one side.

Designed to sit elegantly atop the head rather than pulled down, it’s a showstopping piece of millinery artistry built for occasions where only the most exceptional will do.
