Monocle

Let’s kick off 2009 by taking a little trip into the future. We’re not going very far, so you don’t need to pack much. Perhaps just a small carry-on bag that can hold all you need for a 96-hour spin around the world, a very open mind and a sense of humour might come in handy too. As this newspaper’s headquarters are in London, it makes sense that we start our journey at home-base. An itinerary is important, so I’ve drawn up a plan that also serves as something of a wish-list for a rounded and pleasant 2009.

Monocle has opened its first shop.

Located just off London’s Marylebone High Street, the Monocle Shop showcases the full Monocle range of products that have been created in partnership with leading design brands such as Comme des Garçons, Porter, Valextra, Artek and Drakes London. The shop also stocks a selection of curated, crafted products, from stationery, to cosy knitwear, to CDs, that our editors have found on their global travels. And, of course, we have the full collection of Monocle magazines along with other titles we like. Just nine sq m in size, it’s the ideal place for a bit of personal indulgence. Drop by - we’d love to show you around.
