The pillbox is a flat hat without a brim that is placed on the top part of the head. Given its small size, it must be fastened to the hair with a comb and two hairpins.

When it became fashionable in the ‘60s, women followed the prevailing trend of backcombing their hair to create extra volume. This method made it easier to conceal the hairpins used to secure the hat.

To wear the Jackie Bagatelle, we recommend following this practical tradition and backcombing the area of hair where the comb will be placed to assure better grip.

The shape of the pillbox suits all kinds of faces, especially wide ones, as wearing the hat on the top part of the head balances one’s features. Its position is also perfect for women who need to add height.

Due to its shape and the refined materials with which it is made, the Jackie Bagatelle is suitable for both day and night events, creating a look of sophistication without being too flashy.

When choosing a hairstyle, it can be placed on hair worn loose to achieve a more casual result or with a simple low bun for a more formal finish.

All of our hats are made with the highest quality materials to make them last for many years. To keep your hat in perfect condition, we recommend storing it in its box after each use. It is advisable to bring it in to Balel anytime your hat requires cleaning, ironing, having the inside ribbon changed, or any other pampering or treatment.
