Red and Black Sinamay Cloche by Melissa Rath Millinery

Introducing the Red and Black Sinamay Cloche by Melissa Rath Millinery—a bold and elegant statement hat that showcases classic millinery craftsmanship with striking colour contrast. Handcrafted in Central West New South Wales, Australia, this one-of-a-kind cloche is designed for confident race wear and formal occasion styling.

This distinctive cloche is crafted from red sinamay and features a double crown construction, a clever millinery technique that creates the illusion of a higher crown while maintaining a refined and wearable profile. The structured silhouette offers timeless appeal, drawing inspiration from traditional cloche styling with a contemporary edge.

The hat is finished with a black satin band and bind, providing a sharp contrast against the vibrant red base and enhancing the overall elegance of the design. A large black feather flower adorns the cloche, adding drama, texture, and movement, making this piece a true standout from every angle.

Lightweight and comfortable to wear, this cloche is ideal for race days, formal events, and statement occasions where classic style meets bold colour. The red and black palette makes it particularly striking for racewear, pairing beautifully with monochrome outfits, tailored suiting, or coordinating red accents.

This is a one-of-a-kind design and will not be repeated in this colourway. The cloche is carefully packaged in a black hat box, ensuring it arrives protected and beautifully presented. Ready to ship, it can be dispatched within 1–2 business days.

Celebrate Australian craftsmanship with this individually handcrafted piece from Melissa Rath Millinery, where attention to detail, quality materials, and thoughtful design come together.

Make a confident and timeless statement with the Red and Black Sinamay Cloche—a striking millinery piece designed to command attention with elegance and poise.
