No. 03 · One of One
A one-of-a-kind holiday hat individually composed and hand-embellished by Bespoke Crest Co. around an original vintage embroidered Stresa travel patch, with icy blue metallic tinsel, snowy holly, red berries, collected holiday ornaments and a charming vintage Santa figure.
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.
Stresa, 1963.
She was supposed to stay for the weekend.
By Tuesday, her husband had called twice.
By Wednesday, the hotel had stopped putting the calls through.
The hat is real. The adventure is imagined.
