Thanks to everyone who made it to our studio over the weekend - I hope you all found some nice things!

We’ve been so incredibly busy recently, trying to get as many orders sent and as quickly as possible - plus all of our events of course…..Our next Trunk Show stop is at Cerise, this Wednesday from 5-9pm.

Cerise is run by the lovely Maria, and is situated at number 94 Columbia Road.

We will be there with our exclusive Trunk Show pieces, for a really Christmassy evening of shopping.  Even if you’ve been to any of our other recent Trunk Shows, be sure to pop along as we made have brand new pieces especially for Cerise. Maria will also have lots of Alex Monroe classics in stock, so it’s the perfect opportunity to start / finish your Christmas shopping!

The whole of Columbia Road will actually be open for late night shopping, and there are some really special little shops along there……Click here for more details.

Invite from Cerise.

Also - we now have a Facebook fan page!

If you’ve got an account, why not become a fan of Alex Monroe?  We’d love to hear about your favourite pieces and purchases and you can receive all of our up to the minute news!

Our Trunk Show at Silverado last Saturday went really well, with lots of brand new one-off pieces being snapped up, and Christmas presents being bought.  We had a lovely email from Samantha Lee who chose her Christmas present and then won the prize draw piece - she said: “I haven’t stopped smiling since!”

So thank you to everyone involved who made the day such a success.

This week, from tomorrow until Saturday, we are at Liberty…..

We will have another, completely different selection of unique Alex Monroe pieces, and will also be unveiling of our exciting new collection “The Peacock and the Crow”. Here’s a sneak preview!

Peacock Feather Hoops with Amethyst, Apatite & Emerald Beads.

We really can’t wait to hear what you think and see how quickly the pieces get snapped up!

Susie L, Rakhi, Suzy A, Mayo and Myself will all be popping in to lend a hand, so come and say hello!

We’ve also sent lovely pieces to Vestibule in Zurich and Bon Bons in Tokyo.

In case anyone wondered where we had our cocktails the other week, here’s a little clue…..

What to have....?!

Right, that’s it for now…..all of us girls are off for some well-earned cocktails! x

We’ve all been so busy recently there hasn’t been much time to update you on where you can get you hands on the jewellery, so here we go!

Excitingly, Alex Monroe pieces are going to be much more readily available around the UK thanks to John Lewis….we have launched with everyone’s favourite department store in four locations, which means that our jewellery is now available in Edinburgh, Cardiff, Cheadle and Bluewater.

John Lewis are updating their image, and it looks like they’re really going to town….check out the Bluewater jewellery department below:

John Lewis, Bluewater.

Of course, we still love selling to cute little boutiques too, fans in the West Country should head to Qetty Bang Bang, who recently opened in Tetbury - I can’t wait to visit when I’m back visiting my Mum & Dad!

Another new stockist is The Hambledon Gallery in Blandford, Dorset. We already sell to The Hambledon in Winchester, but the Gallery is the ‘Mother’ shop - both look like they have a gorgeous range of products - and I’m not just talking about Alex Monroe!!

But just to update you, other deliveries we’ve made in the last few weeks are, in London: Charles Fish, EcOne, Matches and Mitsukoshi.

And around the UK: Jason Charles, Pearl & Queenie and Ruby & Tallulah.

Overseas, we’ve covered quite a few continents: Masscob in Spain….Cord Three, Lisette and Tomorrowland in Japan….Herta and Kit of Elsinore in Sweden….Syrup, Quincy and mico-mico.com in Australia….and, last but not least Creme in Bahrain.

For customers in desperate need of a Bumblebee, head to Fenwick or Fortnum & Mason in London, Silverado in Brighton and Chapmans in Durham.  Better be quick though, we’ve only sent them in the last couple of days and they never last long!!

For further details on any of the shops mentioned, just check our ‘Stockists’ page.

Bye for now, Emma 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

Everyone seems to be going Bee-crazy again……maybe it’s something to do with a certain Miss Dahl wearing one on the cover of this months Red…..?

It’s looking set to be a gorgeous weekend, but if you do decide to hit the shops, here’s who we’ve sent deliveries to in the last 2 weeks:

In London, new stockist Madeleine Hamilton, and the lovely Indian Summer and Sisters & Daughters.

Around the UK, check out Polkadot in Exeter and Taunton, Fenwick in Canterbury and Silverado in Brighton - who will have the Clover collection for those of you who have been asking for it!

Also, Whistles stores around the country should now have the Baby Bumblebee back in stock.

A little further away, I’ve just sent some gorgeous new pieces to Fields in Dublin, then there’s Konk in Berlin, Sara Gies in Antwerp, Kim & Maki in New York and all the way down under, Husk and Bessie Head!!

It’s amazing how far our jewellery travels - we had a lovely email from a lady called Lori in the U.S who writes a jewellery blog.  Her son brought her a souvenir back from Japan……an Alex Monroe necklace!!

Our new look website launched at the weekend, and we’re dying to know what you think….?!

We’re all really excited about it, although I must confess there are still a few little glitches to iron out at the moment!

Alex was in-store at Bentalls in Kingston on Saturday doing a little Trunk Show, so thank you to everyone who came down for that.

We’ve got lots more Trunk Shows coming up, so watch this space for more details….

You can now buy the exclusive pieces Alex designed for Coco De Mer, instore and from their website - take a peek! The collection consists of two gorgeous Lockets, a Coco De Mer Seed Pendant and some Butterfly Nipple Clamps. (pictured here)

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.

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