“Pearly Girl” Black Fedora

A touch of class, tempered by fun. This wide, soft brimmed fedora is fit for any occasion. Its classic style makes it truly versatile, but its decoration says super cool. A 925 Silver pearly adornment steals the show, sitting on its double band of colourful sequins and proud creamy feathers. This hat comes with a removable bead string, so you can wear it with maximum colour or go for a more understated look as you please.

The pricing of each hat directly correlates to the grading of the hat. Higher grade decoration refers to more expensive/rare feathers, jewels, adornments or trims. For example, vintage brooches. The pricing of each item reflects several factors: the quality and cost of the materials and packaging, the uniqueness of the item, my creative skills and of course my time and effort.

Please note that second-hand hats may have signs of wear commensurate with some degree of use. However, I select items to alchemise based on the fact that signs of wear are already minimal. Anything noteworthy will be itemised in the ‘signs of wear’ section and shown in the photographs if visible, but please do not expect your item to be “off the shelf” perfect.

Artful Alchemy items are hand-crafted, not factory made, so you may occasionally be able to find small signs of my craftwork, like stitching inside the hat or holding adornments in place. My hats can sometimes be tricky to customise and don’t follow a set design plan, so they are not about seamless perfection, but originality and colourful expression.

The adornments on the hats are usually repurposed, but the trim used is always brand new. Feathers are either found in nature or sourced from ethical vendors.

RETURN POLICY:

Each item is hand-made or hand-customised and totally unique. Due to the custom nature of my hats, all purchases are non-returnable and non-refundable. Please ensure that the item is in the desired style and that the internal circumference is the size for your head, wrist or finger.

Items will be shipped in recycled packaging if available. Due to the custom sizing of hats, it may be necessary to use new packaging in order to preserve the integrity of the hat.
