No. 05 · One of One
A one-of-a-kind holiday hat individually composed and hand-embellished by Bespoke Crest Co. around a vintage embroidered Klondike Derby/Bavaria District patch, with shimmering metallic tinsel, glittering poinsettias, winter birds, a tiny reindeer and collected holiday ornaments.
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.
Bavaria, sometime before anyone was willing to discuss it.
She had been invited for the weekend.
By Saturday evening, she had acquired a sled,
a bottle of champagne
and someone else’s room key.
Richard insists he was never in Bavaria.
No one asked Richard.
The hat is real. The adventure is imagined.
