The Monte Carlo, made for a woman. That low telescoped crown and broad, softly curled brim carry a natural drama – the riverboat glamour Eleanor Parker wore so well – and proportioned for a woman’s head they turn genuinely striking. Every one is shaped and finished by hand, so the edge finishes in a real rounded curl rather than a flat machine turn. Prefer it bold and sweeping, or trimmed and demure? The brim and curl are yours to set. It is one of the most flattering shapes I make on a woman, and one of the most fun to wear.
