Velvet noir
Defined by clean lines and sculptural simplicity, Velvet Noir is a contemporary cocktail hat crafted from fine grey parasisal straw. A delicate dotted veil softens the silhouette, while a sculptural black velvet bow introduces height, balance and quiet drama without overwhelming the design.
Created in the MICHAETT studio in the Southern Highlands, each design is thoughtfully handcrafted, reflecting a considered approach to traditional millinery and refined craftsmanship.
Beautifully suited to the Melbourne Cup, Derby Day, black-tie events, weddings and elegant celebrations, Velvet Noir is secured with a discreet headband for comfortable wear throughout the day.
Every MICHAETT hat — whether a fascinator or a casual everyday style — is crafted entirely by hand.
One of the hallmarks of my work is the use of invisible stitching — a technique that ensures perfectly smooth lines without any visible seams. The result is a hat with a clean, uninterrupted silhouette and a refined expression of hand-made precision.
Every MICHAETT hat is presented in our signature packaging, thoughtfully designed to reflect the craftsmanship and care behind each handcrafted piece.
Your hat is carefully wrapped in premium tissue paper and placed inside a signature MICHAETT hat box, ensuring it arrives beautifully presented and protected.
Whether you are purchasing a handcrafted race day hat, an elegant wedding headpiece or a timeless occasion hat, our complimentary packaging makes every order feel truly special—from the moment it arrives to the moment it becomes part of your story.
Because beautiful craftsmanship deserves a beautiful presentation.
