Little 15 competition

We did a great press breakfast at Harrods this morning. All the gorgeous glam press girls and nibbles and chat. I looked suitably scruffy as usual, eating all the nibbles I could get, and stayed around for the ‘Meet the expert’ day. Bought some fab chocs for Valentines day from  Holdsworth. After trying a few (!) I couldn’t resist. Besides, they’re hand made in Derbyshire. We like hand made in the UK. Yummie.

Stopped off at Panter and Hall on my way back and bought this print. Couldn’t resist it.

Hi Everybody,
Well, the New Year has certainly got off to a flying start. Here’s how it goes for me…
Friday; Emma’s birthday. Too much cake.

Emma cutting the cake.

Saturday PM; Emma’s Birthday party. Karaoke in Clerkenwell. Need I say more?

Me and Suzy A's Nigel. I love Karaoke!

Sunday; Nieces confirmation. I’m not a big Church goer but I’ll always step up if I’m needed, and I was. My niece Edie needed to be given away for her confirmation so me and the kids went up and did the business, all followed by a slap-up lunch at Lemonia in Primrose Hill. Nice because the Bishop did the service.

The Bishop and all

Us lot in the church

Monday; Mayo had a bit of fun working on a new collection…

Tuesday; Negotiate new lease on workshop. All went OK.
Wednesday; Big New Year meeting here. All very positive. Big expansion plans which I’ll talk about soon. Treat curry for lunch! Cinema with mates in the evening. The Road. It’s seriously depressing so only see it if you’re in an OK mood.
Thursday; Teaching at St. Martin’s. I love it there. The students are fab and sooo creative and it’s just great. Teaching a Charm, and a Ring project. My nephew Mario came round and we ended up meeting a few mates in the pub, should have learned by now, too much too late…….
Friday; Headache. Teaching at St. Martin’s. Still love it. Got our samples ready for Germany and sent them off. Visit from Southwark health and safety (yurgh).
Saturday; Day, time to think about tidying up my shed. I lit a fire and pottered all morning. Did a bit in the garden too.

A fire in my shed.

Last day for the Turner exhibition at Tate Britain. All very nice. I hold the world speed record for exhibitions, I managed the whole thing in under 10 mins. Perfect.
Monday; TV  company visited. Want to do a documentary with me talking about wills…. Not sure about it but would be great to get a will done.
Tuesday; Season strategy meeting with Harrods. All very exciting. They want to really step things up so we’re scheduling loads of great deliveries throughout the year. I think we’ll more than double our stock, space and sales. Can’t wait to get going on it all! But had to; Connie had exams at Alleyns School so I had to drop her off really early then whizz from Harrods to pick her up, Libby’s teacher called saying she was ill so raced over to get her, organised babysitters and wasn’t back at work ‘til 5. Ah well, it’s going to be a late one tonight!
Just saw that Susie has put the new pages on the web-site. One for ‘Valentines’, and a great new ‘Trunk show’ page. Only one available of each of these pieces!

Off to Berlin tomorrow, for ‘Premium’, part of Berlin Fashion week. Looks like it’s that time again….Berlin, London, Paris, then Tokyo . Doesn’t time fly?!

Well, there was no way we were going to let the tube strike stop us!

Our special Trunk Show pieces have been in-store at Harrods since this morning, and Alex and Susie will be there from around 5.30pm to have a chat and answer any of your questions.

Harrods are fully stocked on all of your favourite Alex Monroe pieces, but here’s a peak at one of the  Harrods exclusives….

Hope you can make it!! x

Next week (the 8th to 14th June) is “Coutts London Jewellery Week” and to join in with all of the fun, we decided to have a Trunk Show “Road Show” going from East to West London.

We’ll be in-store for a chat and to show our HAND MADE, one off pieces!

All of us here have been making special pieces for each venue, so every shop will be assigned their own specific pieces…..so for all of you die-hard fans, it might even be worth checking out all of the events!!

Here’s the schedule:
Monday: Little 15
Kicking off the week in the City with a special window display at Little 15’s gorgeous Cullum Street Shop.

Tuesday: Little 15
Staying East, why not pop along for a lunchtime drink with Alex, who will be visiting the store.

Wednesday: Harrods
Heading West, we will be in-store all day - look out for details around the store on the Harrods plasma screens!  Alex will be on hand in the evening for a chat.

Thursday: EC One
A bit further West (and a little bit North) EC One will be launching new designs from “Roll Me Over in the Clover” and “Tumbleleaf” alongside all of those lovely special pieces! Kicking off at 6.30pm, why not have a stroll around Notting Hill and come for a drink after work?

Friday: Liberty
Right in the heart of London, and where we’ll be all weekend, Liberty will have loads of one-off pieces alongside the launch of “Roll Me Over in the Clover”  and of course, all the classics.

Here’s a little taster of one of the exclusive pieces……

If you need any further details about any of the events, just drop us a line…..

Look forward to seeing you there! x

Just to let you know, since my last post, we have delivered jewellery to the following London stockists:

Liberty, Harrods, Sweet Pea in Primrose Hill, Tom Foolery in Muswell Hill, Mitsukoshi on Regent Street, ED in East Dulwich, and Diverse on Upper Street.

Outside London, Forrest in Tenterden and Gill Clement in Swansea will be fully stocked.

Overseas we’ve sent some very pretty floral pieces (and our Bee of course!) to Moochinside in Hardy’s Bay, NSW Australia.

Many of these will be the first to receive our new season designs - we can’t wait to know what you think!!

Well, it’s busy as ever here at Alex Monroe HQ……

I’ve been out & about, yesterday I was in Canterbury visiting Catherine and her lovely team at the Fenwick store…..and we’ve been making lots of deliveries too….

In the last two weeks, we’ve delivered to ASOS, Niche in Leicester, and new stockists Katulia in Shrewsbury and Charles Fish in Canary Wharf. 

Also in London, deliveries have been made to Van Vara in Putney, EcOne in Notting Hill and Exmouth Market and Harrods.

Overseas, lots of Jewellery has gone off to Spain….Masscob in La Coruna and Como Agua de Mayo in Barcelona!

If you want to check out any of the pieces at your local stockist, be sure to call ahead as sometimes it may take a little while for the Jewellery to hit the shop floor. Thanks! x
