If you are looking for ideas of what to get up to over the next couple of weekends, how about a trip to Lewes or Brighton?

One of our favourite stockists, Silverado, are having some summer celebrations, which anyone who’s come along before will know that they do so well!

This Saturday, the 2nd July, Silverado’s in Lewes will be throwing open it’s doors.  Lewes such a pretty little town, it’s well worth a visit, and you can click Viva Lewes to see what else is on.

I would also suggest you pop into Wickle who are a Lewes based company making gorgeous fragrances, and have their own ‘mini department store’ – so cute!

Wickle!

If you hang on a week, until Saturday the 9th of July, Silverado will be launching ‘Chrysanthemum’ at their Brighton store.

Whichever event you pick, the Silverado girls definitely know how to look after their customers, so there will be lots of Champagne and cupcakes, one-day discounts, and a raffle entry and goodie bag upon purchase.  This means that anyone making an Alex Monroe purchase will be in with a chance of winning a Chrysanthemum Necklace!

You may have noticed that we are a bit quieter on the Trunk Show front this year…….and this is because we are just soooo busy!  We would usually be heading down to Silverado for these events with some special Trunk Show pieces, but sadly this summer, our workload here at AMHQ just won’t allow it.  We know that this is very disappointing for everyone, but because the Trunk Show pieces are all completely one-off, making them takes a lot longer than designs from our collections, as every aspect has to be carefully considered, and then put together.

As always, watch this space for future events and announcements, as we do plan to get back ‘on the road’ before Christmas!

One last thing, it’s the Pullens Yards open studios this weekend – we are based in Iliffe Yard, part of the estate.  Again, because of our workload, we are not taking part, but why not come down to SE17 – there are lots of other designers and craftspeople to check out…..

Have a great weekend, whatever you decide to get up to!

As our studio is a bit out of the way, we love it when we have shopping events and get the chance to meet our lovely customers.  So thank you to everyone who came along to our pop-up shop at Penhaligon’s on Tuesday, we all had a great day!

We had lots of great support from like-minded companies which really made the day complete.  We of course love Penhaligon’s who kindly let us use their consultation room for the shop, and by the end of the day we were all smelling beautiful and fully converted from wearing ‘designer’ fragrances.

We really wanted to create an ideal shopping experience, and Matt and Marc from Planet of the Grapes gave us some lovely fizz for everyone to sip as they browsed. We also gave a goodie bag with every purchase, which contained some little treats for the way home – Burt’s Chips and Frü Puds.

Goodie Bags!

There seems to be quite a bit of excitement about our new ‘Peacock & the Crow’ collection, so don’t worry if you couldn’t make it along, as it will be uploaded onto the site in the next couple of weeks – keep your eyes peeled! But in the mean time, here are some images from the day:

The setting of Penhaligon's really created an atmosphere for the Jewellery.

Classic Alex Monroe pieces.

Yesterday we took it in turns to whizz off to Little 15 in Cullum Street to help out Jutta with her launch of the collection, but it was too busy to take any pics!

Susie is going to be up bright and early tomorrow to visit Silverado’s new Lewes shop for a Trunk Show – lots of lovely one-offs as usual, and Silverado will also have the ‘Peacock & the Crow’ in stock.  We will be back down at their Brighton store on Saturday the 10th of July.

We are looking forward to Alex’s return from Japan to hear all about what he’s been up to, but in the mean time, look who we’ve spotted wearing AM recently!

New X-Factor presenter Konnie Huq wears a Dragonfly Necklace.

And we think Kimberley Walsh looks great in our Peacock Feather Earrings.

Have a great weekend everyone!  Emma x

Wow – we are soooo busy at the moment…..!

Alex is off to Japan on Sunday, so we have all been helping him prepare for his trip.  He will be visiting clients and doing Trunk Shows in HP Bijoux in Shinjuku, Goldie in Shibuya, and Goldie in Osaka – very exciting for our customers all the way in Japan!

But back here in London……

Tuesday the 8th of June marks our very special launch of ‘The Peacock and the Crow’ collection, as part of London Jewellery Week.

Tuesday 8th June - 'Peacock & the Crow' Pop-Up Shop!

We are having a one day pop-up shop in the lovely Covent Garden Penhaligon’s store, 41 Wellington Street.

Join us there from 11am -7pm for your first chance to purchase this exciting new collection – plus we also be selling Alex Monroe ‘Classics’ too.

There will be some lovely fizz to sip as you shop supplied by the amazing Planet of the Grapes, and everyone will receive a goodie bag upon purchase,  containing treats from Penhaligon’s, Frü Puds and Burts Chips – plus a 20% off voucher for your next alexmonroe.com order!

For anyone who can’t make it on Tuesday, don’t worry as we will be at Little 15 for the second ‘Peacock & the Crow’ event, on Thursday the 10th of June.  Little 15 can be found at 15 Cullum Street, EC3M 7JJ.

The Alex Monroe gang will be calling in at this event too, which kicks off with drinks at Midday and runs until 8pm.  Little 15 are offering 20% off to their Select Card holders, check their website for details.

We were really pleased when Silverado told us about their new shop in Lewes – they’ve been trying to buy a property there for ages, but it looks well worth the wait!

Look at the lovely collection of hand mirrors on the wall!

So…..Susie will be heading down on Saturday the 12th of June for a Trunk Show!  As usual there will be lots of one-offs, plus a raffle prize, and yes, they will have a delivery of ‘Peacock and the Crow’ too!

On Saturday the 10th of July we will be back down in Sussex to visit Silverado’s Brighton store with a Trunk Show – lots of dates for your diaries!

So there is a LOT of jewellery being made at the moment, lots of parcels to pack, emails to answer…..I need a lie down just thinking about it!

But it’s all going to be lots of fun so come and say hello!
