Royal Ascot 14th – 18th June 2022

Hat Boxes for your Ascot Hat

FUN ASCOT RACES ROYAL FACTS:

Ascot Racecourse was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne, so that horses could “gallop at full stretch!”

The Royal connections have been throughout its history with the highlight being Royal Ascot Week.

The Queen has had 71 winners at Ascot Races since she ascended to the throne in 1952.

Some of the dress code dates back to Beau Brummel, friend of The Prince Regent, who took 5 hours a day to dress & polished his boots with champagne!

ASCOT RACES & HATS

Those Ladies’ Day hats need a Hat Box!

The special day for The Gold Cup race is Ascot Ladies Day, this year Thursday 16th June 2022. The cameras will be out in particular for the most flamboyant ladies’ hat on Ascot Ladies Day.

Gentlemen attending the Royal enclosure will be required to wear a Top Hat, & any man attending Ascot must wear a tie; an excuse to break the norm and dress up for the day. Perhaps we will see some gender neutral Ascot Dress Code appearing this year?

The gatemen at Royal Ascot have worn bowler hats since 1959

Whatever your outfit, you will need a Hat Box, to look after your hat; a flimsy pop up box will not do for these unique creations!

HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR ASCOT HAT

It is just not worth getting the brim crushed or slightly marked or bent, a feather getting snapped, so treat yourself to a gorgeous Hat Box, handmade in the UK by The Empty Box Company. We have a large range to choose from, ready for when Ascot is over and you need to store your hat perfectly in a beautiful Hat Box. If we don’t have the right dimensions for your hat, we can make you a Bespoke Hat Box to size, on request.

And let’s not forget the boys! Dusting off that Top Hat, or even hunting hat, means you need a suitable sturdy hat box to store the hat in when not in use, we can make in gentlemanly designs as well as Hat Boxes for ladies.

I have recently received my order from you, and would just like to thank you all so much for my wedding dress box. It was a surprise to see such a wonderful designed box, which had a lot of storage space. I have searched high and low for a large box and have only been successful with yourself.
Very rarely in this busy world we lead do I feel strongly enough to put “pen to paper” however having taken delivery of my wedding dress travel box this morning I feel compelled to write to you! I must admit that initially, I hesitated about placing an order for what seemed effectively like just an empty box. Well, I stand corrected! The box is absolutely stunning and of amazing quality – I simply had to express my thanks for supplying such a beautiful product. Rest assured it will be displayed with pride on top of my wardrobe.
Wow! What a beautiful box for my wedding dress. It was so sad to pack my dress away, but your box was just perfect. My Mum thought I was ordering just an ordinary plain box! No way! Thank you so much.
I just wanted to send a big thank you for my lovely wedding dress box, which I received last week. I am very impressed by the attention to detail – from the quality beautiful box itself, to the way in which it was packed to ensure it arrived in pristine condition. All for a very reasonable price! My dress fits perfectly inside and the box has pride of place in my wardrobe.
Just wanted to write and say how pleased I am with my Wedding Dress Box, my dress fits perfectly and the design (essence gold) is exactly in keeping with my wedding colour scheme. The dress box is so good, I’ve just ordered a tiara box to match!
