No. 06 · One of One
A one-of-a-kind holiday hat individually composed and hand-embellished by Bespoke Crest Co. around an original 1984 Klondike Derby — Adirondack, N. Mex. embroidered patch, with icy blue metallic tinsel, collected holiday ornaments, miniature Christmas details, holly and a rather conspicuous red bird.
Built on a lightweight hat form and designed to be worn at a slight angle. Two discreet clips beneath the hat help secure it comfortably in place.
Approximately 5” diameter × 7” high before embellishments.
Because many of the elements are vintage, signs of age and gentle imperfections are part of their history and character.
Only one exists. It will not be reproduced.

There was also a man named Richard.
Only two of those things came home with her.
Richard has declined to elaborate.
The hat is real. The adventure is imagined.
