When I started my Hat Brand a few years ago I knew the iconic hatbox/hat-case was going to be a key part of my business strategy and marketing. My vision entailed buying a custom made hat or ready-to-wear quality hat should enable an overall luxurious experience. In the forefront of my mind was the practical side of making sure the hat is kept in the best storage conditions and the hatbox had to look really great aesthetically. The box had to be made and constructed of the best quality materials, similar to how my hats are made. It was vital the hat box had appeal, not just a box but something women would want to put on display in their homes or closets.

Hats and hatboxes can be passed from generation to generation and I know from experience how thrilling it can be to take a hat out of a hatbox and it still looks as fresh as the day it was made.

For years I was always intrigued by images of women getting on trains with hat cases and classy ladies walking with beautiful hatboxes and hat cases down busy shopping streets or through airports. I knew from the early days when I became a Milliner that I wanted my Brand to represent this image. Over the past few years I have received wonderful feedback on the hats and the hatboxes, so much so, that people stop me in the street to enquiry about them and what type of hat is inside.

So in light of my love of hatboxes, hats and any pleasing to the eye hat accessories, I've put together some of my favourite images of hat cases, hatboxes and even a super cool rolling round luggage case from a start up company also based in Hong Kong.

Sincerely Yours in Hatting,
