Burberry takes over Monocle cafés and shops in London, Paris, and Tokyo as part of an exclusive collaboration celebrating the brand’s latest outerwear campaign. Each location features "bespoke displays, Burberry Check–adorned coffee cups, and curated in-store experiences that blend Burberry’s classic British style with Monocle’s contemporary design sensibility."
As part of the takeover, visitors can discover 'London: A City of Many Characters,' a Burberry x Monocle illustrated guide that highlights the personalities shaping London, from the Shoreditch pace setter to Chelsea’s retired socialite, each styled in Burberry’s signature outerwear. The guide appears in Monocle’s November issue and is available separately at participating locations until 12 November.
In Tokyo, the collaboration extends to a Japan-exclusive Burberry x Monocle tea kiosk pop-up, serving complimentary beverages and offering the 'Pocket Guide: Tokyo.' Together, Burberry and Monocle celebrate creativity, craftsmanship, and the global influence of British design.
