Yes, Elaine, it is vintage ultra-suede from Italy, ca. 1970's, and is hand painted!! Amazing tiny scrap that I pulled out of my scrap barrel one day, and knew the only thing it could be used for was a half hat!! And I must share with you, that I've had an article published in the Rhode Island Monthly, a local glossy magazine in our tiny state--on newstands all over the state!! The longer verion is on theit blog, all written by a very talented intern writer who spent three hours interviewing me in March. The magazine used the picture of the red cloche that you used!! Wow--that hat was a real hit!! Hope I see some orders from all of this!! Is there any way I might be able to share the blog link with HatAcademy subscribers? I know there is a posting page, but not quite sure how to access it.
