Monocle is a complete media brand with our print, audio and online elements – not to mention our expanding retail network and online business.

Via our shops in London, Toronto, Hong Kong and Tokyo we sell products that cater to our readers’ tastes and are produced by brands we believe in.

We also have cafés in Tokyo and London, as well as an additional newsstand and coffee concept in London called Kioskafé.

Monocle continues to grow and flourish and at our core is the simple belief that there will always be a place for a print brand that is committed to telling fresh stories, that sends photographers on assignments and knows that its success is all down to the readers, advertisers and collaborators who have supported us along the way.
