We love… a quality niche shop. Hawes & Curtis - with nearly a century of experience in luxury shirts, silk ties and elegant cufflinks, and an appealing love of colour - make formal dress so very appealing.

The Perfect White Shirt.

Finding ‘the perfect white shirt’ is the fashionista’s quest for the Holy Grail.

Immaculately cut, neat fitting, crisp, cool cotton… the garment is the spiritual cornerstone of a simple elegance encapsulated by icons from Audrey Hepburn through to 1980s supermodels and the late Princess of Wales to (deep breath)  Victoria Beckham.

Trust good old Mr Ralph Hawes and Mr Freddie Curtis – or their design descendants – to come up with the quintessential top-quality perfect ladies white shirt for 2008.

The shirtmakers who dressed Edward VIII – and turned away Fred Astaire in favour of kitting out the British aristocracy – have a dozen different styles and cuts to choose from. And the price is irresistible: three for £75 or £27 each.
