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 is a great place to rent or buy unique clothing. Melynda has curated such a great variety of items. I rented a gorgeous gown for a work event and bought multiple things including a vintage Italian suit that I get complimented on all the time. It is a wonder place to discover and elevate your personal style.

Went by on a Saturday with my daughter. Melynda was awesome and helpful, as always. We both found things we needed. What I appreciate about Melynda is the personal service and how she honestly cares about if something is "right" for you or not. She actually mended something I had just bought right on the spot (wouldn't let it leave with an almost loose button)! Appreciate her sense of style and will defiantly be headed back.

The BEST vintage shop in LA!! The minute you walk in you are greeted by the owner and stylist, which is rare for a vintage shop, if you ask me! Melynda is absolutely wonderful and provides excellent customer service! Since she's a professional stylist she's extremely knowledgeable about fashion and helps you coordinate outfits together. She has a great assortment of women's and men's clothing, shoes and accessories. I try to visit the shop once every two weeks, you just can't beat the prices, it's cheaper than Wasteland! If you are looking for one of a kind vintage pieces from the 1960's to now, Quirk is your place to shop! They carry Theory, James Perse, APC, Prada, Burberry and many more! I highly recommend this vintage shop!!

I had a really good experience at Quirk. Its located in DTLA which is known to give you headaches with parking. Luckily there were several fairly priced garage options on the same block. The shop is located on the second floor of this cool, early 20th century style building. I love vintage buildings so I was hyped before I even stepped into Quirk. But once inside I was really digging the vibes. They have a really selection of vintage, modern clothes for women and men. With assistance of the curator, Melynda, I was able to grab a few items for an upcoming headshot session. I didn't have to break the bank as the items I purchased were from a $20 rack. I will def go again. I highly recommend checking it out.

Quirk is WONDERFUL! Small but mighty, always new and exciting finds, plus the real deal when it comes to fashion and expression. Owned by a stylist/awesome fashionista, with a passion and drive that offers the best experience in vintage shopping. I got the most gorgeous silk blouse...and some shoes that fit me like Cinderella! If you live in Los Angeles, you know how hard it is to find awesome vintage at a reasonable price. From the fight over Dior at a thrift store, to the snobby and over priced 'bo-ho' Buffalo Exchange, to the trendy and overly pretentious places on Melrose-it's just another face in the crowd, on the scene. It's more comfortable and personable at Quirk. You get the deals, yeah-but the experience is worth more!

I've been coming to Quirk for years now. Some of my favorite pieces have come from her shop and I always get compliments. It's the perfect place to get something unique that not everyone has. Top quality items. One of my first pieces I bought from her is a vintage Armani blazer that has become a regular staple piece for me. Still in my rotation years later :) The shopping experience itself is always a treat (coming from someone who doesn't like shopping). Melynda is super welcoming and helpful if you're looking for something in particular. If she doesn't have it, it's likely she will soon, as she's regularly getting new inventory. Also, be sure to check out her shopping events!

Ten out of five stars for Melynda and her all volunteer Quirk crew for creating the People's Free Boutique in an unused corner space in DTLA, providing much needed, intentional, and high quality clothing and supplies for those of us who lost everything in LA's January fires. My family and I came to Quirk and were welcomed with care and respect, mirroring the quality and thoughtfulness of the clothing offered, and being given the dignity of choice to dress ourselves in clothing that we prefer. The Quirk crew were professional and kind, dealing with a gradually melting down child and frazzled adults, recognizing and validating the collective trauma of their guests, and providing a space of hope, solace, and care out of the goodness of their hearts. I was able to restock much of my professional and casual wardrobe, grab some high quality toiletries, kids clothing, and an epic penny board for my kid. I cannot recommend a visit to the People's Free Boutique and Melynda's Quirk store on 9th enough!

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!

Favorite place to shop. Melynda always has the best treasures and she does custom designs. I bought a vintage dress from her to wear to a Gucci event, and I got soooo many compliments! Go now. This is definitely a must shop place in DTLA .

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!
