Embroidered Smoking Hat. One of A Kind.

Inspired by late 19th-century chamber hats, this smoking hat embodies the intimate elegance of private interiors and ceremonial dressing. Crafted from vintage silk, the surface is entirely hand-embroidered using the traditional zardozi technique, forming an intricate pattern of floral motifs, medallions, stones and strass.

Metallic threads trace a dense, ornamental rhythm, where light catches on beads and sculpted elements, recalling archival garments and historic decorative arts. A refined and unexpected detail completes the piece: a discreet internal comb, designed to secure the hat naturally to the hair.

A singular object suspended between ornament and function. One of a kind.
