Calling all tiny-headed cloche lovers!!!

This hat was originally purchased on a whim, in the early 2000's, and originally cost a couple hundred dollars. The former owner said she had it custom-made by a milliner in Manhattan's East Village, David Rodriguez, of the former shop Casa de Rodriguez, which closed in 2010. They had had a slew of celebrity clientele. Alas! This special little hat comes in a domed cloche style, with medium width brim. The base fabric is a lively floral pattern, which has been overplayed with a mossy-to-forest green variegated lace. The base of the crown has a dark brown leather band, with a couple black feathers, as well as a single peacock feather. I really love the touch of the sumptuous green floral brocade lining fabric, and matching green petersham ribbon inner headband. The overall condition is near mint, with the only sign of wear being some separation of the peacock feather's tendrils -please review photographs for full details. Only label reads simply 'Rodriguez, New York'.
