T-shirt “Read more”

Deck yourself out in some Monocle-approved merch. Made in Portugal with 100 per cent cotton, this navy jersey has a thicker, more durable feel to it. Printed on the front is the simple message: “Read more”; the reverse features Monocle branding. 

Otto Sepp hat

Handmade in Austria from wool felt by heritage millinery brand Mühlbauer, this narrow-brimmed traveller hat is as easy to fold away and care for as a beanie. Peek inside the hat to find a Monocle-exclusive ribbon in brown, white and anthracite, completing its vintage look. 

Established more than a century ago in the quiet Viennese suburb of Floridsdorf, Mühlbauer has become one of the world’s most prominent milliners, valued by designer brands from Kenzo to Comme des Garçons. Combining hand-crafting techniques with contemporary design, Mühlbauer is the go-to for sophisticated headwear with a statement twist.

The colours on this canvas-leather bag from Japanese accessories brand Brooklyn Museum were curated by the Konfekt team. Each bag is made in Japan featuring leather from wagyu cattle and Fujikinbai canvas. The interior features five pockets, including one with a zip.

Large travel organiser

This large travel organiser comes from lightweight travel accessories brand To & Fro. Made by one of Japan's leading ultra-light fabric manufacturers Kajif, its nylon fabric is waterproof and semitransparent, making packing that little bit simpler. Featuring exclusive To & Fro X Monocle co-branding.
