Today on curio cabinet I would like to introduce my small collection of vintage hats. Compared to most vintage lovers I think my collection is rather small and most of them have been gifts as opposed to items I buy myself. This first, a brocade pillbox (seen above and below here) is a rather magnificent specimen! I have yet to ever wear this shining 60's glory but perhaps someday I will have a dress worthy of this hat! It was a gift from a boss years ago and though not really my style, is a pretty great example of the style. Most of my other vintage hats were gifts from my grandparents and belonged originally to my great aunt I believe, or some other relation. I would love to expand my little collection but as I currently have no place to wear such nice things it seems unpractical to invest in things I don't get to wear. Perhaps one day I will have a nicer job where such frivolities wouldn't be unpractical and laugh inducing. One can hope!

| I love the veiling on this little taupe hat, vintage veiling is the best! |
 |
| Readers who have been here for a while will recognize this floral hat, I bought it with some of my birthday money this past summer. I just love it! |
 |
| It is hard to make out all of the detail put into this little velvet hat! it is made up of many panels of velvet and I think dates from the 20's-30's based on the style of the typography on the label and style. |

| Lastly is this cute little light camel wool beret with great little cut-outs that create a unique texture. |
1. Amazing 1940's hat with flowers! Would be so great for summer
2. Gorgeous black wool and feather hat, again from the 1940's
3. Another summer stunner, would be amazing with a sundress or summer suit
4. A Schiaparelli! any collectors dream, though this one is a bit worse for wear
