Absolutely stunning authentic YSL hat, I would describe this as more of a sculptural beret rather than pillbox style, with original woven Yves Saint Laurent Paris - New York label inside. Made in France.

possible 1960s era

material unknown, it is a very thick fabric similar to a twill, with a layer underneath similar to sinnamy for structure and form

Lined with a dark beige matt satin

Stunning embellishment sculptural handmade feather wraps around from base of hat to top of crown, with corded ribbon to form the spine of the feathers and finish as a small bow at the crown

There is some discolouration at the front due to the previous owner having foundation and it has rubbed off and is visible at the front on the inside only, this defect is unfortunate and significant only when looking inside the hat as a result, the price is set to reflect this
