Crafted in European fur felt with a soft, brushed finish, this sculptural bowler reinterprets a 19th-century silhouette through a contemporary, artisanal lens. The surface is hand-distressed to create subtle tonal variation, giving the piece an intentionally aged character.
Gold sashiko embroidery — traditionally used in Japanese textile repair — is applied directly onto the felt, introducing a graphic, hand-worked contrast. Each stitch is placed individually, ensuring no two hats are identical. An antique lace band encircles the crown, adding a refined textural layer against the raw, unfinished brim edge.
