A Winning Ticket for a Bespoke Hat Included in 80 Limited Editions
Christmas crackers are an indispensable part of a British Christmas. At Christmas dinner, the tradition of pulling both ends of a cracker with the person next to you, revealing a gift with a pop, is a quintessential scene of the British Christmas.
Asprey, a British brand steeped in history and tradition, also releases Christmas crackers filled with sophisticated items each year. This year, however, they have elevated the offering further with a high-end collaboration with Philip Treacy.
This special cracker, sold in a limited edition of 80, contains whimsical pop-up hats by milliner Philip Treacy, beautiful ribbon-shaped confetti, and a silver thimble engraved with his signature, a coveted item for collectors. These beautiful and humorous pieces are sure to enhance the Christmas spirit. Furthermore, one of the 80 crackers includes a winning ticket for a bespoke hat by Philip Treacy.
A beautiful 'surprise' that only 80 people in the world can receive with a 'pop.' This cracker, guaranteed to create lasting memories for both the giver and receiver, is perfect for orchestrating an exceptional Christmas.
