Fashionable women from Boston to Virginia needed the proper headwear to keep their hairstyles in place when venturing outdoors, and the Calash was the solution. Adapted from an original green silk Calash at Stenton Mansion in Philadelphia, our version is made in cotton fabric and willow canes (as were in 18th century ones) to hold the shape. The Calash has a shoulder-capelet and ties in a bow in front. Please state color choice.
