From Wednesday 1st February prices of Alex Monroe jewellery will be increasing.
For several years, we have been successful in keeping our prices unchanged. Now, with the recent steady rise in the cost of precious metals, especially gold, we are having to implement a price increase across our collection.
We were thrilled that we were able to absorb the VAT increase last year so that it wasn’t passed on to our customers. In fact our prices have remained mostly unchanged… Read the rest

Here’s a quick update following a lovely piece in Metro some of you may have spotted about our latest collaboration, with the Goring Hotel……
The world’s best Hotel (where else would you spend your last night as a single girl before marrying a Prince?! The Goring of course!) asked Alex to come up with a quirky idea for their afternoon teas, of which they change the theme throughout the year.
Well, as usual Alex managed to come up with some… Read the rest

Well, it’s Movember time again. Last year I grew a ‘tache in November because my dear old Dad had Prostate Cancer. Well, it got the better of him a few weeks ago, so this year I’m doing it in his memory.
Basically, I look rediculous with a ‘tache, so when my old friend Emily from Penhaligon’s told me they were doing a free pop-up ‘tache trim and shave shop in their Covent Garden store I booked up straight away. (check… Read the rest

A few months ago, we were invited to participate in a showcase for British companies in Vienna by the UKTI office there. As it’s been so busy here, we’ve hardly had chance to even think about it, so last Monday it was suddenly time for Jutta and I to board our plane!
Here’s some of the things we saw on our travels……
We made lots of contacts at the event, and if all goes… Read the rest

After a busy month of trade shows, and preparing for them, we are well and truly back in the office….and dare I say it, bracing ourselves for the run up to Christmas! So it seems strange that two weeks ago, we were baking in Paris…..
Every March and October Alex goes off to Paris with our new collections to take part in Premiere Classe, which is an amazing accessories trade show. This time, Alex had handed the job over to… Read the rest

I’m just back in the studio from the Paris shows… and it was boiling! But I had a cunning plan; I flitted about and left Emma and Suzy.A to do all the hard work. Lunch in the Marais, coffee in the park. Not too bad at all.
Paris was beautiful of course. We had supper at my old favourite Yanase near Porte de Versailles on Saturday night. Japanese-French mix. Luverley.
Talking food… we had a super meal at… Read the rest

We were sent this lovely pic of Eliza Doolittle at London Fashion Week. She’s looking lovely wearing our owl-on-a-perch earrings. My daughter LOVES Eliza so I might even get a teeney tiny bit of respect when I tell her (even though I’ll continue to play my old Bob Dylan albums much to her dismay)
Thanks to everyone who came to the London Fashion Week-end sale. The girls had great fun, but poor Jutta had to take Monday off because she… Read the rest
