Women's Baroque Tricorn Hat

Women's Baroque Tricorn Hat with Lace and Veil

A Jewel of the 18th-Century Ladies' Wardrobe

This type of headwear is based on European fashion of the 18th century, specifically the High Baroque and Rococo periods. Although the tricorn hat (or tricorne) was originally exclusively a part of the male, and especially military, wardrobe, noble ladies soon discovered and adapted it for their own needs. Women wore it particularly with riding habits (amazons) during hunts or rides, but it also became a fashion hit for travelling and walking in parks. The originally austere shape was softened by ladies with rich decorations such as lace, ribbons, and rare feathers, creating a highly elegant and attractive fashion element.

The hat is generously decorated with a precise white lace appliqué on the front brim, which sharply contrasts with the dark background. The crown of the hat is adorned with a rich bundle of feathers, giving the whole model dynamism and aristocratic charm. Attached to the back is a light, flowing veil made of chiffon (100% viscose). Viscose ensures a wonderful drape and airiness for the veil, which flows romantically with your every movement while protecting your neck from the sun.

Hat Care and Maintenance

To ensure this exclusive hat retains its perfect shape and the beauty of its feathers and lace, proper care is essential. The product must under no circumstances be machine washed, soaked, or tumble dried. We recommend removing any surface dirt very carefully with a soft, dry brush. In case of heavier soiling, entrust the hat exclusively to a specialised dry cleaner. The chiffon veil can be very carefully steamed with a vertical garment steamer, but take great care not to let the hot steam reach the feathers, as this could damage them. Store the hat in a dry place, ideally on a hat stand or in a box, to prevent deformation.

Recommended Accessories

To create a perfectly authentic appearance of an 18th-century noblewoman, we recommend pairing this hat with a Baroque riding habit (amazon) or a magnificent Rococo dress. The overall impression will be wonderfully enhanced by a period lace parasol, fine leather gloves, and an elegant hand fan. Please note that the depicted dress, chemise, and earrings worn by the model in the photograph are not included in the delivery.
