A B O U T

A spectacular example of mid-century millinery artistry, this 1950s wide-brim hat from Lazarus Paris–Cincinnati exudes both Parisian sophistication and American flair. Crafted in luxuriously soft chartreuse green fur felt, the hat’s sweeping brim is edged in matching velvet, lending a refined finish and structured silhouette.

At the crown, three sumptuous velvet rosettes in shades of coral, orange, and deep red bloom dramatically across one side, accented by a sparkling rhinestone crescent that catches the light with every turn of the head. The bold floral motif adds just the right touch of glamour and contrast against the cool green base—a color palette quintessentially evocative of postwar couture millinery.

The hat bears the Lazarus Paris–Cincinnati label, referencing the famed Lazarus department store of Cincinnati, which in the 1940s and 1950s imported exclusive Paris-made millinery and couture accessories for its discerning clientele. These pieces were often created by top French ateliers for the American luxury market, blending European craftsmanship with stateside elegance.

Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs of vintage fashion, this hat is a rare and wearable work of art—ideal for display, photography, or a statement occasion look. In excellent condition, clean and ready to wear.
