Gilded Teal: Teal and Gold Cloche Trilby Hat

Confident, artistic, and quietly unconventional, ‘Gilded Teal’ is a sculptural felt hat that blends vintage influence with modern design. Made in a deep, vibrant teal felt, this piece features a distressed gold leaf petersham band that wraps the crown like a painterly gesture — imperfect, expressive, and full of character. Shaped to hug the head like a teal cloche hat, the crown has a subtle indent at the top, lending a contemporary edge beyond a traditional 20’s silhouette. The asymmetrical brim — downturned at the front and gently upturned at the back — references a trilby hat, softened into a feminine, wearable form. This is a women’s winter hat designed for women who value design, depth, and individuality. About the Inspiration Inspired by Agnès Varda, the pioneering filmmaker and artist known for her poetic approach to cinema, her love of texture, and her refusal to follow convention. Varda’s work celebrated curiosity, humanity, and personal expression — qualities reflected in this hat’s hybrid form, rich colour, and hand-finished gold detail. Like Agnès herself, this design is thoughtful, playful, and quietly radical.
