DESIGNER 1980s'/90s' AQUA & PURPLE FELT "CHURCH" HAT + FEATHERS/RHINESTONES

This truly magnificent hat by famous designer B MICHAEL looks like it was not worn, since the tag is still attached showing a price of $425. The round crown is flat at the top and is made of aqua and purple colored felt. The wide, upturned brim is made of the same aqua felt on the visible area, and purple felt on the other side which is inside the hat. The visible part of the brim is cut into a beautiful design edged with purple and teal colored feathers. There are rhinestones dotted on the brim as shown in the photos as well as around the crown where both felt colors meet. This is a breathtaking hat!
