THE MONC BLOG

No matter where we are in the world,we’re all dealing with a lot right now. We’re looking at how to look out for each other and how to take care of ourselves. 

Hi Everyone, we hope you, your families and communities are safe and well. We have created the following blog post...

With Christmas fast approaching, we want to update you on the services we will be carrying out throughout the holidays.

At MONC, we don't do new for the sake of new. We do new for good reason. That's why we're (re)introducing a better, less impactful version of three of our original designs. Earlier in the year we redesigned our Kallio frame and now it's the turn of Gràcia, Kreuzberg and Södermalm.

Our founder Freddie was recently interviewed by our good friends over at Flax London for the latest episode of their Linen Lover Series.

Welcome to 'Made in' - a series of features where we explore honest talent and craftsmanship right here in the United Kingdom. Meet Florian Gadsby, an accomplished ceramicist working from his studio in High Barnet, North London.

We've been reflecting this particular topic that is constantly on our minds and we continually revisit. So, we've decided to take the time to get our thoughts down on paper and open up the discussion about the 'Made In...' label.

This week is Zero Waste Week - seven days dedicated to making small changes in our everyday lives to help reduce how much we use and throw away. In honour of Zero Waste Week, we want to bring awareness to and encourage conversation around the waste our own industry produces.

As it's Zero Waste Week, we've been looking at brands that take waste and utilise it to make it into their own beautiful products.

Our founder Freddie visited the leather goods workshop that makes our cases in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. We want to share the process of how we make our cases from start to finish.

As a member of 1% for the Planet, we are committing to donating 1% for our annual sales directly to non-profit environmental groups that are making a big impact.

In 2019 we introduced The Conscious Collection - where each frame is made from bio acetate, an alternative to acetate that is made without the use of fossil fuels, but how is it made?
