Mata Hari’s Daughter (Carly Reynolds) of Oakland, CA, creates gorgeous, [handmade headdresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t3-x-lelet-ny) with vintage flair and everyday functionality. All headdresses are created using vintage textiles and adornments. [Glass beads, feathers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots) and other antique finds adorn these elegant, handcrafted designs.

With the emergence of "Steampunk" several years ago, the headdress saw yet another revival in the form of top-hats, fascinators and myriad other hair baubles. The headdress is no longer relegated to the realm of [bridal wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-accessories-collection) alone. From simple and elegant to exotic and decadent, Carly Reynolds presents unique hair art that Alphonse Mucha himself might envy.
