About the Item

1940s Laddie Northridge Rare Ethereal Black Singed Ostrich Feather "Cloud" Hat: Laddie Northridge was a couture custom hat maker (occasionally producing matching bags and clothing) in London to an exclusive clientele in the 1940s. This beguiling example of their work is rare and quite unusual. It features an airy, ethereal design using a carefully wrapped cushion-shaped wire framework that is covered with a cloud of singed ostrich feathers giving it a feather "halo" effect that is très chic! One size fits all and secures with pins.
