Designed and handmade in Prague, this Braasi Henry canvas backpack is ideal for urban roaming. Made from cotton and premium Italian leather, this version of the Henry is exclusive to Monocle.

Boston bag

The Boston bag is the quintessential carry-on. Small enough to meet airline hand-luggage regulations it will easily fit into an overhead cabin or under an A320 seat yet, with a bit of smart packing, can hold enough to last you a week or longer. Porter is a luxury Japanese luggage and accessories specialist that creates intuitive and durable pieces.

Drehgriffel pencil

An ideal companion to your notebook, this mechanical pencil will keep your writing crisp. With a design dating back to the 1920s, it works using a twist mechanism that opens the chuck at the tip, pushing the 0.7mm HB graphite lead forward; when the chuck is closed, it holds the graphite in place. An internal chamber holds several refills that are automatically pushed to use one after the other. The refillable Drehgriffel pencil comes in four colours that match Leuchtturm1917 notebooks. A design object to behold, it has a geometric hexagonal barrel and a pleasing weightiness that adds to its retro quality.

Pen loop

Whether your tool of choice is a fountain pen, ballpoint pen or pencil, our sturdy elasticated pen loop will ensure that it doesn't leave your sight. Simply attach this self-adhesive holder to the back cover of your favourite notebook.

There’s a good chance that you have flown on a plane that Winkreative painted, read a newspaper that it redesigned or meandered through an urban development that it branded. Since 1998 the branding and creative agency – and sister company to Monocle – has been applying its investigative spirit, insightful thinking and eye for quality to projects that shape the world around us. Knowing More takes you inside some of Winkreative’s most recent works across hospitality, travel and commerce, from Swiss cruise ships to Hawaiian printmakers and South Korean beauty giants.
