Kleine hoed van doorgestikte rode ripszijde met platte bol en licht opstaande rand, versierd met bruin grosgrain en bruine voile c. 1941 - 1942

Rose Valois's "Kleine hoed van doorgestikte rode ripszijde met platte bol en licht opstaande rand, versierd met bruin grosgrain en bruine voile" is a striking example of fashion design from the early 1940s. This small, red hat features a flat, slightly raised brim and is decorated with brown grosgrain ribbon and brown voile netting. The hat is a testament to Valois's skill in working with textiles, and its small size and delicate details make it a charming and stylish accessory. The hat's design is influenced by the fashion trends of the era, which saw a return to more feminine and elaborate styles after the austerity of the 1930s.
