The
Cloche derived from the French word "bell" was invented by Milliner Caroline Reboux in
1908. The Cloche is a close-fitting woman's hat with a bell-like shape, often a narrow turned-down brim or brimless, usually made of felt designed to be worn low on the forehead.
Cloches made of beads or lace for cocktail and evening wear.
Typical of the 1920s and 1930s their popularity and the shape of the hats influenced
hairstyles such as the 'Eton crop:' short, slicked crop, then worn by Josephine Baker.
Ribbons adorning the hats indicated the wearer's status.
