This is an adorable little piece.
Made in the late 1920s or early 1930s, the cloche is made from dark blue straw and is labelled "Josella". A very close fitting crown with a sweeping brim which is wider in the front than the back, it has a simple navy blue grosgrain trim which is tied in the back with a little bow.

Condition
Very good with just a couple of minor points to note;
- there is a small loss of shine on the front of the hat, just above the grosgrain - see photo
- when the hat isn't being worn, the crown dips inwards - when worn your head will push out this divot so not a fault in the piece, just a point to note
