Derby Day Hat with Striped Scarf Trim

The Derby Day Hat with Striped Scarf Trim is a timeless piece of designer fashion headwear, combining classic racewear elegance with contemporary Australian millinery craftsmanship.

Handcrafted by Melbourne milliner Felicity Northeast, this sophisticated statement hat is designed for the Melbourne Cup Carnival, Derby Day, Spring Racing events, country races, polo, and stylish outdoor celebrations.

Inspired by traditional racewear silhouettes, this elegant design features an off-white boater-style crown paired with a striking black Dior-inspired wide brim. The monochrome palette is elevated with a luxurious wide silk striped sash, creating beautiful movement, texture and a refined modern finish.

The Panama straw is handwoven in Ecuador from sustainably sourced fibres supplied by an ethical producer before being carefully blocked and hand-finished in Australia. The brim incorporates a discreet wire edge to maintain its elegant shape and is finished underneath with a fine ribbon detail, reflecting the traditional techniques and attention to craftsmanship synonymous with Felicity Northeast Millinery.

Elegant, versatile and designed to make an impact, this Derby Day hat pairs beautifully with both classic monochrome racewear and contemporary occasion dressing.
