Cue the mod drama—this vintage 1960s black straw bubble toque is the perfect topper for a cocktail hour or gallery hop.
Vintage Toque Details
This 1960s black straw bubble toque is classic city-smart millinery—the kind of hat you’d have spotted in a Saks Fifth Avenue window or gracing the bouffant of a Hollywood ingénue. From the era when helmet or bubble shapes ruled the scene, this toque brings that bold-yet-refined polish with every curve.
- Jet-black shiny straw woven into a full bubble silhouette, a favorite of the early ’60s for its sculptural flair.
- Trimmed in crisp black and white petersham ribbon with a tailored flat bow—pure graphic punch.
- Finished with a delicate black veil netting that cascades down the sides of the hat.
- Inner grosgrain band, Union Made label.
- Hat size: 21.5″.
Pair it with a swing coat and pointed pumps to really make the decade pop.

WHAT IS A BUBBLE TOQUE
About Bubble Toques
A bubble toque is a structured, rounded hat that sits high on the head, often made of straw or fabric. Popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s, it creates a sculptural, helmet-like silhouette that frames the face and adds instant drama.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HAT SIZE
HOW TO FIND YOUR HAT SIZE
- Pull a fabric tape measure or length of string around your head just slightly above the ear, across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head.
- Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. You are measuring your head exactly where the hat will sit in either inches or centimeters.
- If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.
- Then buy a fabulous vintage hat from Madge
