A lifestyle in the form of a magazine in the form of a shop,

The
MONOCLE
SHOP

While Monocle have been driving the media and publishing world into the future with innovation through smart creative thinking, their online retail outlet felt a little bit dated and often made it difficult to check out. No more – the global media brand has just launched an updated online shop which now allows you to purchase specific back issues for the first time outside of their London and LA shops. The clean layout is easy to use and fits well with the Monocle brand. The products of course are top notch, my favorites include the Woolrich duck canvas jacket, the post card set and the day tote by Porter for Monocle. It’s worth a browse if your looking for a lost issue, need a versatile travel bag or just need to empty your pockets.


Because of its flawless singularity,

it's a short hop from

Monocle-as-magazine to Monocle-as-shop.

Tyler Brûlé is opening a stylish store as a vehicle to sell copies of Monocle,
his business and cultural affairs magazine.

Canadian-born Tyler Brûlé has been prognosticating about globalism, materialism and design since he founded Wallpaper magazine in 1994. And now he's at it again, challenging the prevailing logic of cutting back by opening a stylish store as a platform to sell copies of Monocle, his high-end (that's $10) business and cultural affairs glossy.
