Derby Day

Victoria Derby 2024 - Derby Day

The 2024 Victoria Derby on Derby Day heralds the start of the Victoria Racing Club’s Melbourne Cup carnival held at the iconic Flemington racecourse in Melbourne.

The 2500m distance makes the Victoria Derby a gruelling test for spring three-year-olds and the $2 million in prize money makes the event one of the key races on the Australian racing calendar. In 2020 the race was won by Johnny Get Angry.

Julie Herbert Millinery creates headpieces, fascinators and hats especially for the Spring Carnival week, this includes Derby Day, Melbourne Cup Day and Oaks Day. 

 

Julie has a range of off the shelf pieces to suit any style, if you would like to discuss about a bespoke headpiece please contact us to enquire.  Get out there and look amazing in your outfit and top it off with a Julie Herbert Millinery piece, made in Orange, Australia.

From me!, Julie Herbert

I created Millinery pieces because I love being
in the moment creating in a different artform. And also, it brings me such joy
when we’re able to hear or see customers having a wonderful experience
ordering and how proud they feel when wearing a designer hat, headpiece or
headband by me.

Some don’t know this but I have 2 young Children. And
I’m passionate about it because they are my whole world raising them. Which
makes this whole experience with our brand relatable knowing growing a business
from scratch is hard to start, but when it has gotten older I have learnt more
patience and feeling more grateful than ever to have my Millinery journey
shared by my customers and fans.

One of my favourite Millinery styles is the Fedora Hat because you can keep sun protected and be unique at the same time. I hope you love my Millinery collection as much as I do.
