Christmas gift guide
From chocolates to wooden toys, cameras to candleholders, we’ve scoured the globe for things we’d like to find in the Monocle Christmas stocking.
Back to the folks
We bring you warm tidings – and equally warm clothes – to spend time at home with the family for a cosy Korean Christmas.
The crème de la crème
A family-run company, Clarins’s business strategy is to improve products rather than discontinue them. This has won it a loyal following and set it apart from other cosmetics giants.
Observation
The search for a new Monocle HQ continues. Meanwhile, we've been thinking about our next retail venture and have noticed a gaping hole in the newsstand market, writes Tyler Brûlé.
Tofu Catalan
Retiree Tateo Shimizu chose Barcelona as the perfect city to set up an authentic Japanese tofu shop.
Stored up
Monocle reports on Mitsukoshi department store’s updated look and innovative concepts.
Fashion
The new preppy, a cycling jacket you'd be proud to be seen in, a menswear store in Hong Kong that's not in a mall, and Inventory magazine's shop.
Inventory No. 38
Our selection of products made by new and established designers, including a barrister turned perfumier and a former pilot who makes canvas bags.
Africa/Middle East
Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan is this month's Style Leader, and we report on why London's iconic black cabs have started cropping up in Cairo.
Look the business
Whether you’re a publicist, banker or lobbyist, Monocle presents the smartest coats, warmest knitwear and sturdiest shoes to catch glances and shake off the chill.
