In all its New Look, wide-brimmed glory, this set's hat alone would be stunning, but add to this a matching handbag and the pair's original box? Beyond fabulous!! The hat is labeled "Original by Sherman," the box, "Emme Inc. - 19-21 West 57th Street, New York."

The fabric covering the hat and bag is a crisp, slightly off-white linen or linen-like fabric with eyelets in a flower pattern. The black you see is flock printing. The hat's brim goes from narrow in back to very wide on the sides and semi-wide in front where there is a big bow with a goldtone and pearl bead ring instead of a center knot. The hat is lined with white acetate and has a red grosgrain inner band.

The bag's lining is black acetate. The opening has side hinges that snap the bag open and shut. The strap is long enough to go over the shoulder, and it has a knot so I presume you could alter the length by how you knot it. The depth of the bag goes from flat at the top to 2.5" at its base.

The box is cardboard and it has a red cord handle. I was told that this is what the set came in.


On postage: I am offering the bag, hat, and box shipped together for the cost shown. If you are NOT interested in the hat box, the postage would be less. Please convo me if you would like a price quote for the reduced postage to your specific location.


CONDITION: The hat and bag are in very good shape, with the hat just having a little soiling inside the crown on the grosgrain band in front. The bag has slight soiling on the top of its strap (near the knot) and several spots, two on the inside and one very faint on the outside. These are shown in the 3rd from last photo montage. The upper right pic in that collage shows the one outer spot...it's pretty negligible.

The box is in fair shape, with some scratches and definite wear. The most obvious problem is that the bottom is broken in along its edge in two areas (last photo). If you are not interested in having the box along with the hat and bag, I can quote you a lower shipping cost.

SIZE: The hat is 20.25" in its inner circumference and is 17.75" from side to side x 13.75" from front to back. The crown is 2" tall. The brim goes from 1.75" wide in back to 6" on the sides to 4.5" in front.

The bag is 11" x 11" x 2.5" deep at its base. It has a 20" strap knotted as shown.

The box is 18" in diameter and 7.5" in height.
