It's March now - and where I live (Hawaii) it's been so windy that my hat blew off while I was walking yesterday. But for many it's still cool enough to cover our heads. For this week's "Spotlight" let's share some of our favorite vintage hats. Here a a couple of mine. I've never been able to find out anything about this hat so if someone knows about Ciné-Vogue Fashions - please post here! This is another "fun" hat: This hat is velvet with wonderful crocheted balls and a covered moveable cord bow on the top. The label is "Ere Nouvelle". Size 22 1/2. Please share your Vintage Hats!

Lynne - That is great information! I have always wondered about this hat. Thank you!!! I think it's probably late '30s from the style and this information.
On our latest group Zoom call someone and I were talking about Laddie Northridge hats. I am commenting now to remember to post 2 photos tomorrow. (CRS) Also, Lynne...great sleuthing!
Gosh, I have SO many hats! Hard to pick one or two, but let me think about one I have not shown before. I love your hats, Linn! And Laddie is one of my top favorite millers of all time. Lynne, I knew nothing about that hat company, so thanks for sharing that with us here.
This is my all time favorite hat in my personal collection. Mainly due to the style, and that it is from the local department store where I worked in visual merchandising in the 1980s. Late 1930s vivid red fedora style hat. The Bon Ton York PA And this one sold years ago to a hat customer of mine. I wish I still had it, but I am sure she treasured it. And a favorite hat box in my collection. Again from a local store.
Great hats! I can see why you love those hats, Suzanne - and the hot box!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing more - hats!
Here is a look at my personal Laddie Northridge - my 2nd favorite: I stumbled onto a former hat I sold that was quite wounded but still a Laddie...here is the label too: Then I found this one..this black feather hat was AMAZING! I sold it to a long time client of ours. I LOVE HATS! but hate selling them! Here are some of my other ones I found while looking for the Laddie:
Beautiful red hat, Suzanne! Love those two of yours too, Linn. Janice, you look lovely in your hats! Speaking of Laddie Northridge Christian Dior 1970s 1960s Silk Beret Hat - Newspaper Print by Graham Smith Schiaparelli Lamé Turban 1930s Tilt Hat -no label
I just pulled my Laddie out of storage to photograph it. I have had it for so many years. I don't have photos of them, but, I have some Edwardian, 1920s and more 40s from local stores. Janice you are the Perfect hat model. I never go anywhere to wear mine now. This was many years ago. My favorite Edwardian straw with flowers. Again, a local store. Sorry for the bad photo, I was ill, but I was going out anyway.
WOW!!!! Thank you all for showing these amazing hats. Janice - you are indeed a great hat model. MJ - I LOVE the tilt hat. Susanne, you look great in your Edwardian attire.
@anothertimevintageapparel Suzanne, that hat is perfect but I am too distractes with that stunning walking suit you have on! :babypeng:
Just for something different, 4 favorite men's straw hats/caps from my collection. 1930s Yeddo straw caps from Italy 1950s woven bamboo Hawaiian sports cap
Thank you for the compliments on my original suit. Here is my Laddie. One of the first hats I kept for my collection. Of course, it looks better on a real head.
