Signed and inscribed by the Duchess of Windsor to Lucienne Rabaté (1885-1960), the renowned hat designer known as the greatest milliner of the Roaring Twenties, who ran the most important hat shop in Paris, Caroline Reboux. Lucienne Rabaté played a crucial role in Coco Chanel’s early fashion career, teaching her the artistry and business of millinery while assisting in the successful launch of her first hat shop in Paris. A nice association.
