Over the Top Hats: Vivien

Mini top hats... check out my blog at www.overthetophats.blogspot.com!

Opulence defined, the Vivien is lush with gleaming gold, vibrant red, and sparkling jewels. Gorgeous scarlet satin, brocaded with imperial chrysanthemum designs in gold thread, is draped around the hat, forming a pillowy backdrop to a fiery red acrylic jewel that has been hand-wrapped in intricate brass filigree. Delicate threads of metallic gold thread surround the crown, each one accented with tiny, sparkling ruby and topaz colored rhinestones. If you've ever wanted to wrap yourself in luxury, the Vivien is the closest you'll come without being royalty.
