This pillbox is a unique creation in vibrant shades of orange silk abaca. This exotic piece will 'top' any special occasion outfit. The headpiece is based on an orange sinamay pillbox held securely in place on the head by hat elastic. It is fully lined in black silk and has a black petersham band on the inner edge of the pillbox. The trim has three shades of orange silk abaca - wrapped around the pillbox is a bright orange and on the top the larger shape in mandarin/gold sits with a smaller 'corm' shape in bronze/orange. A spray of black goose biot feathers spring forward providing contrast in their spikes and add movement. Silk abaca is an ideal fabric for race day headwear in the UK as it copes well with damp weather conditions and should not lose its shape.
