Now is your chance to own the very first Kentucky Derby® Barbie™ Replica Hat produced! The hat has a crown of parisisol straw and a broad swooping brim constructed of a sheer fiber and wire. The trim is three of designer Christine A. Moore’s signature hand-made cup petal-ed roses. She used 5 colors of silk matte satin organza in the roses to create a modeled effect just like the roses on Barbie doll’s hat.

No more than 135 will be made in honor of the 135th Derby. Clothes Off Our Back is auctioning off the first hat which is marked as the number one edition.

The winning bidder will also receive a Kentucky Derby® Barbie® Doll. The hat (and doll) should arrive to the winner in time to wear it to the 135th Kentucky Derby.

Proceeds from the auction benefit Clothes Off Our Back’s charities including Feeding America (formerly named America’s Second Harvest), The Art of Elysium, Hope North and H.E.L.P. Malawi.
