Once again Monocle has gotten together with some interesting partners. For the second time they worked with Woolrich Woolen Mills and they also get together with Tomorrowland from Japan this season. Together with Woolrich they present another limited edition jacket that is more appropriate than the previous one, for the colder months ahead. With Tomorrowland they worked on a very simple, yet comfortable fleece crewneck sweater. Both pieces are now available in the Monocle online store.

More detailed images of the new Monocle Woolrich Jacket and Tomorrowland Sweater follow after the jump.

Back on track with more appropriate collaborations, Monocle presents a project with British designer Bill Amberg. Together the two worked on two different nautical style canvas bags. Available in Hot Mustard or Lightning Blue, the canvas and leather bags come with a set of patches (including the Monocle emblem) and a stencil so you can personalise the bag with your initials. Both bags are now available in the Monocle Shop.

Monocle is far and above our favorite print publication, and the extension product they’ve worked on so far has been nothing but incredible. Continuing that tradition, the folks at Monocle have teamed up with Japanese retailer Beams on a watch. Limited to 200 pieces in each of either olive or brown, the watches are scheduled for an August release, but are now available for pre-order through the Monocle Shop. (via 39/18)

Monocle presents their latest collaborative product and got together this time with Italian brand Aspesi on a nice technical jacket. Wind and water proof, the jacket is perfect for outdoor sports, as well as rainy days in the city. The two Aspesi character logos get complemented with the Monocle logo on the front pocket and on the back. One again a solid piece, the jacket is now available in the Monocle store.

After London and Los Angeles, as well as a pop-up store in Paris, Monocle is taking over Palma de Mallorca over the summer with a Monocle Shop. The store will offer the magazine, as well as all their collaborative items that we have seen in recent months release. The store opens its doors today.

Monocle presents their latest collaborative item, this time with Woolrich Woolen Mills and their designer Daiki Suzuki. They worked on a lightweight, unstructured jacket. It comes in navy and olive and is now available in the Monocle Shop. Via H(Y)R.

Based on their first collaboration on the Hinoki fragrance, Monocle and Comme des Garcons now present their first candle.

“Made in France by Comme des Garçons, it has a high concentrate of fragrance, is created from the finest waxes and comes in a black glass container.”

The Monocle x Comme des Garcons Candle One Hinoki will be released in April. More images follow after the jump.

Monocle magazine does not stop to impress with their high profile collaborations. After working with Porter, Drakes, Comme Des Garcons, Fritz Hansen and Artek, they now got together with Italian luxury leather manufacturer Valextra. Together they made a leather notebook.

“Established in 1937 by Giovanni Fontana, the company’s fortunes were revived in 2000 when Carminati Molina bought the company. Now, exclusively for Monocle, Valextra’s craftsmen have created this  soft leather notebook holder that comes with a fine-lined notebook. The design also doubles as a passport holder. The leather is  mustard but the edges are inky green, as is the stitching. Each notebook is stamped in gold “Valextra for Monocle” and comes in a black presentation box.”

The Valextra For Monocle leather notebook is now available for 135 Pounds.

Monocle never let’s us down and has continuously impressed us with their moves. From opening coffee shops at design fairs, to opening their own newsstand in London, the magazine has always taken unusual, yet impressing moves.

Their latest venture is their own store – The Monocle Shop.

“Located just off London’s Marylebone High Street, the Monocle Shop showcases the full Monocle range of products that have been created in partnership with leading design brands such as Comme des Garçons, Porter, Valextra, Artek and Drakes London. The shop also stocks a selection of curated, crafted products, from stationery, to cosy knitwear, to CDs, that our editors have found on their global travels. And, of course, we have the full collection of Monocle magazines along with other titles we like. Just nine sq m in size, it’s the ideal place for some Christmas shopping or a bit of personal indulgence.”

Many times we have reported about our excitement about the one year old Monocle magazine, which set new standards in a world, where print is not the standard anymore. The magazine, founded by Tyler Brulé, took a different approach from pretty much everything else out there and was very well received, due to a great mix of topics and high standards overall.
Steven Vogel from Blacklodges sat down with Andrew Tuck, the editor in charge of Monocle, and they talked about the print world as well as Monocle specifically. A very interesting read. Check it out here.
