Hackett London proudly sponsored British Polo Day Dubai, marking the second leg of its annual UAE Series. Warming up to the 20th Anniversary World Cup weekend, the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club welcomed over 700 VIPs and guests for a lavish lunch and mixed matches on camels, bikes and horses!

Hackett London’s first pop-up-store in the Middle East added a dash of style and panache to the 5th edition of British Polo Day Dubai. Polo players like Pablo MacDonough raised a glass to the Hackett Thesiger Trophy and historical and cultural ties that bind Great Britain to Dubai and brings people together over the international languages and love of horses.

Hackett holds a special line, Polo Picnic, in its collection for the British Polo Days. Hackett injects fun, explosive colors in a playful polo manner. The ‘Polo Picnic’ is pictured as the fun Saturday afternoon getting ready to watch the match; a picnic on the grass where miniature cupcakes were served in lightweight summer tweeds and thick Oxford cottons all in bright tones and floral and paisley patterns. Reversible cuff shorts revealing a contrasting fabric are new introductions within the collection, combined with a bright double breasted blazer and cotton polo; they make the perfect attire for a hot day at the polo.

Prince Alexei Cantacuzene Count Speransky won Hackett’s ‘Best Dressed Male’!


About British Polo Day
British Polo Day champions British luxury and heritage – in just four years the British Polo Day calendar has grown to encapsulate a network of 10 events annually. In 2015 British Polo Day will host events in Abu Dhabi, China, Dubai, Great Britain, India, Mexico, Morocco, Singapore, USA, and a unique Global Gathering at Nihiwatu, on Sumba Island.

The story of British Polo Day stems from a love of the ancient sport of polo and a recognition that the international language of the horse can bridge cultures, bringing together a like-minded community on a global scale.

Through polo, the British Polo Day Founders seek to celebrate British luxury heritage. Great Britain, and indeed many of our host countries, has a long history of polo. The aim of a British Polo Day is to continue the tradition of playing high-quality amateur polo against friends across the world, while also acting as a platform upon which to build a network of diplomatic and commercial opportunities.

British Polo Day showcases over 30 top British luxury brands and acts as a conduit for championing craftsmanship and heritage in emerging markets.

In countries all over the world, polo has a long history of raising significant funding for worthy causes. The British Polo Day team is entirely committed to bringing to bear the full weight of its partners, network and creative talent to this end. To date, British Polo Day has raised more than US$1.2 million for extremely worthy causes across the world.
