Description

Product Description

A wonderfully textural 1960s pillbox hat by Genevieve, constructed in luminous golden straw and finished with an unexpectedly playful arrangement of velvet ribbon and fuzzy floral sprigs.

The tall cylindrical crown features a tightly woven straw base overlaid with looped and knotted straw detailing. The dimensional surface creates a lattice-like pattern that catches the light while preserving the hat’s clean, architectural silhouette.

Across the top, pale yellow silk velvet bows are arranged among green textile leaves and clusters of soft white buds. The trim has the charm of a miniature spring garden while remaining graphic enough to feel modern.

Its high, brimless profile creates a strong mid-century line and can be worn level across the crown or positioned slightly toward the back of the head. The lace-covered interior foundation keeps the piece lightweight despite its substantial shape.

Pair it with a sharply tailored suit, a minimal shift dress, crisp cotton separates, or a tonal evening look. It would also make an exceptional spring event hat, editorial styling piece, theatrical accessory, or addition to a vintage millinery collection.

Fit Notes

Best fits a modern size M/L based on documented item information.

This is a structured pillbox hat with a fixed interior opening and minimal flexibility. Its tall, brimless crown is intended to sit securely around the upper head rather than stretch or conform like a soft fabric hat.

It may be worn level, slightly tilted, or positioned toward the back of the crown. Discreet hatpins may be helpful depending on hairstyle and preferred placement.

No numeric hat size or exact interior circumference is provided.

Condition

Excellent vintage condition with light age-related wear.

The woven straw retains its tall cylindrical shape without major crushing, structural breaks, staining, or visible repairs. The intricate looped surface decoration remains full and securely attached.

The velvet bows, green leaves, and fuzzy white floral sprigs remain present and visually strong. Minor irregularity, gentle age toning, and a few stray fibers or loose decorative ends are visible upon close inspection, consistent with delicate vintage millinery.

The lace-covered interior remains clean and intact. The Genevieve label is clearly legible with light age-related wear.

Styling Notes

Style it with an ivory shift, black crepe dress, lemon silk, soft pistachio tailoring, or a sharply cut cream suit.

The tall crown creates a particularly strong profile when worn slightly toward the back of the head. Keep accompanying jewelry minimal or echo the floral trim with small pearl or botanical earrings.

Curation Note

Each Quirk piece is hand selected by our team for quality, wearability, construction, styling potential, and point of view.

Quirk for Fire Vicitms has been such a special place for me. I have found wonderful clothes to get myself started after losing my home in Pacific Palisades. The boutique is clean, organized and the volunteers are so kind and helpful. Melinda who runs has become my friend and I have run into other friends who lost their homes and met many new ones. 5 stars plus another 5 stars

As an enthusiast of cool articles of clothing from from then to now and back again, I discovered a gem in dtla called Quirk! Co-owner Melynda always creates the best experience whenever I stop by...much like like visiting a friend and unlike some vintage shops there's always something new in rotation. Do yourself a favor folks and stop by!

Melynda totally saved the day! She came on a magical unicorn and brought me my dress! I was searching for a dress for a wedding that went with their Great Gatsby theme and was totally not sure where to begin and what to wear. She helped me find a necklace and a dress here at the shop that was absolutely perfect! I got a gold and gunmetal tassel necklace and a robin egg's blue lace Tracy Reese dress. She was even kind enough to alter the shoulders for me since the wedding was the day of! They even had a funny wedding card that for the bride and groom! Mission accomplished, now just have to get a scarf or headpiece for my head to complete the theme and Melynda gave me some tips!! Will be back for next time when I need her expertise. They have an always shifting collection of curated vintage and new clothing. Love Quirk LA!

I volunteered at Quirk all afternoon today, and there is so much love and support alive in that space. They are overwhelmed with so many incredible donations and every single thing is being sorted and placed directly into the free shop where fire victims can come shop and get what they need. All items are the same quality you would find in a thrift store like Buffalo Exchange. There were volunteers helping people find clothing items that fit and served their needs while they’re grappling with the loss of their homes and belongings. There are so many ways fire victims need support and this is one of them! Thank you Quirk and the other amazing organization and businesses stepping up to help our community!

5 stars for what they are doing for the community but not for my personal experience. They were listed on the wildfire Google sheet / website as one of the few places still accepting donations, so I brought all my unworn clothes over. The address on the website and online is not the correct one, so had to get back in my car and find new parking closer to the new location. Then I get inside and they said donations are by appointment only. 30 minute drive and a lot of parking hassle with nothing to show for it. Would be nice if they updated their donation status and location on the Google sheet. Annoying for me but glad they are helping those in need. The new location is in the photo.

I finally walked in after walking by for years when I heard they were in need for volunteers for their donation drive. I'm ashamed I haven't found this store before. The owner is fantastic, she hopped out of a hospital bed and straight to setting up this push to help people. The store, as it's known, on the fourth floor feels like you are thriving with some of the most upbeat staff to aid you find everything you need for woman's clothing, toiletries, and undergarments. On the second is where you can find an almost equal amount of men's, rare to have this ratio in any department store. Kids all the way down to infants, with diapers, and toys. Here you can see volunteers going from room to room sorting through, sizing, and cleaning up donations to stock both floors. Snacks, water, non-perishable food, and a welcome environment has made this a far distinction from digging through a pile of T-shirts on a folding table. My time volunteering here has been exhausting in the best way, the tiredness that comes with knowing you've done good, that your work and presence are valued. I'll continue to be here everyday I can until Melynda gets tired of me saying, "Happy ___day!" We're still here!

Just the most fabulous place and people ever My pockets have been tight, but I consistently find myself thinking about this shop and its owner. Not to mention that I'm reminded when I happen upon or wear one of my Quirk purchases. Need to go back soon!

I cannot say enough glowing words about Quirk. It's the absolute best. I've come several times since 2020 and they never miss. Melynda is a top-tier curator. All her pieces feel hand-picked with thought, care, and a keen eye for taste and style. It's easy to find a great deal here: I've found a vintage Dior wallet at Quirk, as well as multiple outfits for red carpets, premieres, photoshoots, and day-to-day wear. She keeps prices super fair and reasonable while knowing her stuff when it comes to true vintage, designer, and quality. I always know I'm getting my money's worth. As a stylist, Melynda is a true treat and I highly recommend working with her. Whether it's working on a tight budget and creating 15-30 looks from vintage pieces, or an expanded budget that can pull from showrooms and designer pieces, or even creating a custom piece--Melynda knows how to meet the needs of every budget and occasion and go above and beyond. She puts in the work when it comes to event research and advocates for a client's personal taste. She has styled high-profile clients and costumed network television shows--it's hard to find someone who knows more about true vintage and eras than Melynda! As someone who loves vintage shopping, thrifting, and flea/artist/vintage markets, I'm always looking for vendors and stores, and Quirk is one of those special places where you can tell vintage is a real passion, not just a place to make a quick buck on a Tiktok trend (though you can definitely find super trendy pieces here too!). At Quirk, I'd say clothes are treated like found treasure looking for their forever home! I come back again and again because the pieces are fun and always changing. As a store owner, Melynda is friendly, knowledgable, and is great at offering styling advice for each customer's unique taste. She keeps such a positive shopping atmosphere in the store. I'll always keep returning!
