Rollneck sweater
This ecru-coloured rollneck sweater is an exclusive collaboration with Japanese cashmere brand Bodhi, a personal pick by Monocle’s fashion markets editor, Kyoko Tamoto. Made in Japan with a blend of cotton, linen and cashmere, it features a middle-gauge fabric for styling in all seasons while the raglan-sleeve design adds a relaxed touch to the piece.
Founded by Japanese fashion designer Satoshi Mizutani in 2018, Bodhi sources Mongolian cashmere to craft timelessly stylish pieces from cosy knee socks and gloves to jumpers, cardigans and trousers. Opting for a range of understated colours, Bodhi’s focus is on making use of cashmere’s naturally soft, luxuriously lightweight properties – without a trace of synthetic fabric.

Large mug set caramel
Monocle presents its latest collaboration with Hasami Porcelain, a Japanese ceramics manufacturer from the town of the same name. Hasami Porcelain prides itself on a highly specialised workforce. By giving its employees individual specialist tasks, from shaping and moulding to glazing and firing, the company ensures a consistently exemplary standard of craftsmanship. In this set, the single caramel-coloured cup and matching saucer balances luxury and modesty with an effortless grace.
House slippers
Wool artisans at the Burel Factory atop mainland Portugal’s highest mountains have kept their regions crafts alive since the facility was founded in the 19th century. Now, Monocle customers can also enjoy products from the Serra de Estrela range: navy or grey house slippers made by Burel workers using wool from local sheep, with Monocle’s customisations.
String shelf
You’ll have String to thank when all your books, pot plants and knick-knacks are neatly in order. Few shelving companies can rival this Swedish firm, which was launched in 1949 when its founders, Nisse and Kaisa Strinning, won a bookshelf-making competition. Sixty years on, its unfussy, Swedish-made designs are still leading the pack. This hand-oiled oak unit is easy to assemble mercifully, there’s no doorstop-like instruction manual – and boasts an olive powder-coated steel frame and engraved. The shelves are 20cm deep: the perfect size for the latest issue of Monocle.
Yoshino Hinoki oil refill
The scent is built from fresh, deep and spicy notes of cedar wood, sandalwood and cardamom. This oil soaks into the small platform of the Yoshino Hinoki Diffuser, letting the aromatic nature of the wood disperse the fragrance throughout your living space or office.

Duffle coat
The duffle coat, available in navy and camel, is designed with reinforced seams by Invertère – a British brand with a rich coat-making history that was revived in 2013 by a Japanese company after disappearing from the market in the 1980s. The coat is made using the finest herringbone fabric from English manufacturer, Joshua Ellis, renowned for its 250-year expertise in luxury woollen fabrics and sustainable practices. In a rare collaboration with Monocle, Invertère adds a unique finishing touch through exclusive co-branded buttons, departing from its usual independent-branding approach. Featuring real horn toggles with leather loops, the duffle coat layers well over shirts and lightweight jumpers.
Pencil case
Made in collaboration with Japanese stationery specialist Delfonics from highly durable waterproof PVC, this pencil case is set to last. It is ideal for everyday use or on your travels and can carry up to 10 of your favourite writing instruments.
Scent Three: Sugi
Sugi – also known as Japanese cedar – is popular as an ornamental plant in Japan and has a delicate, clean and energising fragrance. After our collaborations with Comme des Garçons on Hinoki and Laurel we returned to them for this third scent. Developed in Paris by Antoine Maisondieu it comes in a Monocle-designed bottle and box. It is a refreshing scent that’s light but sophisticated, beginning with top notes of Mediterranean cypress and pepper from Madagascar, followed by iris from Florence and cedar from Virginia, and finished with pine and Haitian vetiver.
