This asymmetrical beret is made from a heavy long-napped fur felt, often referred to as "Melusine". It is not a fake fur. It is gathered and pinched at the top, and held with an ornate clasp of filigree brass and prong set clear and black rhinestones that is sewn in place. Though it has that "floppy" beret look, it is somewhat stiff and holds its shape well. There is a very short brim that encases wire for structure. Much of the hat is hand sewn.
Inner circumference 21" - will best fit heads up to 22"; diameter 10"
Label: Jan Leslie Custom Design
Condition is very good. There is one small black stone missing from the brass ornament (best viewed in the last photo, enlarged); Some make-up residue inside forehead area on band. No moth damage; no odors.
Please know that, although my blonde mannequin bust is life-sized (and molded from a vintage hat mannequin), her head circumference is on the small side of normal at 20 1/2". That, combined with her molded hair, means hats might look just a bit bigger on her than they will on a larger size head
I have a HUGE amount of vintage hats, vintage clothing and vintage jewelry to sell so check back often!
DEAR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE:
If under 4 pounds. I will offer you USPS First Class International Package shipping, which is much cheaper than International Priority Mail. Though recent deliveries to Europe have only taken 2 weeks, it is sometimes a slow option and can take as long as 4-6 weeks to be delivered. Kindly keep this all in mind before you open a case! If you are anxious to receive your item more quickly, then Priority Mail International is a better choice.
- Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.
- Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
