If you have
a particular design in mind for one box or for a number of boxes
and you do not see what you would like whilst browsing the site,
Pandora's Boxes will endeavour to turn your ideas into reality by
providing custom-made boxes.
We can provide boxes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including
round, square, oblong, heart, oval and hexagonal. Sizes range in
width from 15cm (6") up to 53cm (21"). This means that boxes are
available from small right up to hat box size.
Available fabrics include moiré, damask, silk, peachskin, tartan,
fake fur, organza, as well as a variety of floral and patterned
fabrics. We can often use customers' own fabric too!

were delighted with their purchase and were happy for us to display
photographs of their boxes on the web-site. |

(near the former home of the novelist Jane
Austen). The event was attended by The Prince
Of Wales and HRH Prince William with 400

THE YOUNG VISITERS - BBC
DRAMA
Pandora's Boxes were commissioned
by the BBC to supply boxes for a comedy
drama that was shown Boxing Day 2003 on
BBC1 and November 2004 on BBC America. The
Young Visiters (sic) was written
by Daisy Ashford, a Victorian nine year
old girl, and her book was published with
all her original spelling intact. The boxes
we supplied were made to exactly match the
costumes worn by the leading character,
young beauty Ethel Monticue.
More
recently the striped box has featured in
ITV's adaptation of Jane Austen's Northanger
Abbey, shown in March 2007.

PURINA
GOURMET PEARL CAT FOOD
Sometimes
just a simple straightforward box is all that
is required to help promote a product. We supplied
a box covered in an ivory coloured fabric
(pictured below) to be used in one of the four
magazine advertisements currently running for
Purina's Gourmet Pearl range of cat foods. The
star of the show is Archie The Gourmet Cat,
who, in the advertisements, gives tips to other
cats on "How to get the best from life".
In advertisement number 3 of 4, he advises the
Cat of the House to "Choose a good quality
cardboard box. Sit in it and look extremely
handsome...." To

just love persian cats), click here. |
