Race Day Fashion – Exclusive 20% discount for Cheltenham ladies

IF YOU’RE heading to Cheltenham next month and have yet to purchase your hat step away from the department store and refrain from haggling with pals to borrow a 2013 piece.

We have an exclusive offer that will net you a bespoke piece by an Irish designer at a price that will undercut any other offerings and keep you ahead of the pack on Ladies Day!

Irish millinery outfit Hats by Ria B is offering Irish Post readers an exclusive 20 per cent discount on bespoke headwear creations ordered for the upcoming Cheltenham races by March 3.

With their exquisite hand-made pieces usually on offer for anything from £90-£150, the 20 per cent discount will go a long way for any race-goer who hopes to bring a sense of their own personal style to their outfit or simply match the colour scheme of their chosen race day ensemble.

For the Cork-born sisters behind the business – which has bases in England and Ireland - buying quality bespoke pieces at an affordable price is a treat which should be available to every woman.

“We want everyone to feel wonderful and beautiful in a head piece that suits them and their style,” says Ria Buckley, the milliner responsible for the designs.

“We work with each individual and can do that wherever they are in the world - we simply have an initial consultation where we ask them to share their ideas, their photos of themselves and an idea of the colours they plan to wear.

“That can be done in person, over the phone, on Skype, on email even. Then, if they are happy with our ideas and the price, we get started on making the piece.”

After attending the Isabella Blow show at London Fashion Week this month, Cork-based Ria and her sister Catherine MacConville, who operates the British arm of the business, were keen to share their inspiration with Irish Post readers heading for the Cheltenham races next month.

“People find it hard to believe that you can buy a bespoke piece of headwear at an affordable price,” Catherine explained.

“And so many people run off to department stores to buy hats for special occasion and pay far more than they would with us, for a very basic piece which is not bespoke.

“We want to introduce them to the beauty of a piece that’s made for them, at a price they can afford, so we’re delighted to offer a special discount for Irish Post readers.”

She added: “We can turn around orders for our British based clients fairly quickly and our initial consultation is free, with no obligation, so we hope they’ll give us a call to find out what we can do for them.”

For a free, no obligation consultation with Hats by Ria B contact 07719 565078 or 00353 873984986.

Enquiries for Cheltenham must be made by March 3 – and don’t forget to quote The Irish Post in order to receive your 20 per cent discount.
