Happy St. George’s Day 2020

To celebrate St. George’s Day, roses are a must, and here we offer you a corsage that is, in fact, a women’s hat.

This piece, as original and elegant as it is delicate, was conceived and made by hand by Conxita Salla Pallàs. Despite not being known to the general public, Conxita Salla was a more than notable designer of hats and ceremonial head ornaments for women, which she herself made either for sale or for rent. She had a workshop at Progrés street, no. 23, in Badalona, where she worked from the middle of the 20th century until 1970.

In 2013, a set of 120 pieces by Salla were added to the Museum’s collections, thanks to a donation made by her granddaughters Rosa Mari, Ariadna and Carla Miralles.

Happy St. George’s Day to all!
