Have you ever wondered about the origins of Boxing Day? Let's share the history as well as why it's relevant to the QG. 

What is Boxing Day?

Boxing Day is celebrated on December 26th, the day after Christmas. While it is a public holiday in countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, its origins date back centuries.

Origins of Boxing Day

There are several theories about the origins of Boxing Day. One popular belief is that it originated in the Middle Ages when churches would open their alms boxes and distribute the contents to the poor on the day after Christmas. Another theory suggests that it was the day when servants and tradespeople would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box," from their employers.

Traditions and Customs

Today, Boxing Day is known for various traditions and customs. In the UK, it is a day for sports, with events like horse racing and football matches taking place. It is also a popular shopping day, with many retailers offering post-Christmas sales and discounts.

The QG's English Traditions

Before the QG was founded, we took inspiration from the luxury and traditional barbershops in the Trafalgar Square area in London: Truefitt & Hill, Geo Trumpers and Taylor of Old Bond St. Down the way from these three barbershops sits Saville Row. These iconic neighborhoods became the brainchild for our "one stop shop" and it only made sense to curate classic brands from London and surrounding areas.
