This exquisite vintage hat is a statement in old-world elegance. Made by Bigel of Bruxelles—a boutique Belgian milliner known for their luxurious mid-century creations—this piece features beautifully patterned fur in warm, natural tones, likely from ocelot or another exotic cat, backed with a rich brown grosgrain ribbon and matching bow detail.
The silhouette is softly structured with a flattering, slightly flared brim and a rounded crown, giving it that perfect 1950s–60s shape. Inside, it’s lined in ivory satin with hand-stitched finishing and bears the original Bigel Bruxelles label.
It’s rare to find one in such good condition—still plush, still shapely, and full of vintage character. There are a few tiny age spots inside the lining, but nothing visible when worn. This is one of those timeless pieces that elevates any winter look—classic with a bit of a wild streak.
A beautiful example of European vintage millinery, ready to be worn or collected.
