Vintage 1960s AMY New York Embroidered Beret Hat – Sculptural Threadwork Paisley

This rare 1960s AMY New York vintage hat is a stunning example of textile artistry and mid-century millinery. Somewhere between a structured beret and a soft pillbox, it’s crafted in a richly colored paisley base fabric (purples, olives, and golds) and overlaid with dimensional threadwork—no beads or sequins, just expressive knots, loops, and a wiry overlay creating a lush, tactile effect. Lined in olive satin with grosgrain trim, the hat shows light stretching and wear to the back elastic but remains in good vintage condition. It’s perfect for collectors, vintage stylists, or the fashion-forward wearer looking to mix eras. Pair it with a slouchy sweater, olive utility pants, and combat boots for a high-low streetwear twist—or style it as originally intended, with a sleek coat and gloves for cocktail-hour charm. A one-of-a-kind piece that tells a story with every stitch.
