The cloche was a close-fitting bell-shaped hat that hugged the head and was worn low over the eyes. Its name comes from the French word for bell. It paired perfectly with the short bobbed hair of the era and became the must-have accessory of the decade.
Women often pinned a small brooch or ribbon on a cloche to send a quiet signal about whether they were single or attached.
