Hat Clip, circa 1930
Add to SetSummary
Attached to the edges or bands of hats, hat clips added extra style or color. In the 1930s, they would have been added to small and rather tight-fitting cloche, or bell-shaped, hats. The angular forms of this clip suggest the popular Art Deco style, which was prominent during the inter-war period. The material is Bakelite, an inexpensive plastic that could be shaped into a variety of fashionable products.
