A fashionable yet sporty 1920's velvet flapper cloche from Liberty & Company of Regent Street, London. Liberty has been known for their fashionable clothing well before their floral prints. This fitted 20s hat is made of soft green velvet with rows of machine stitching forming a plaid pattern across the crown and concentric circles around the brim which can be worn turned up in the back or down.
