The CouCou uses a vintage technique in folding traditional velvet and non traditional metallic leather to form these delicate flat rosettes. They are definitely a "slow fashion" process to make and I would love for you to think of this headpiece as something to pass down to the next generation. She would look great with your hair pulled all the way back, a la Frida Kahlo, or down and full. My dream scenario is the CouCou with a tuxedo suit at your next holiday party. This is a sophisticated look that can be pulled off at any age.
