A ‘Botanical Meets Industrial’ Wedding Theme
This post has been a long time coming!! Our ‘Urban Jungle‘ wedding concept was actually produced in 2017 but our Creative Director, Kat, was also training as a mental health professional, which allowed little time to promote her work. 4 years on, (and now that she has qualified), we believe it is never too late […]
Bespoke Handmade Bow Ties for Groomsmen
As the summer continues, we’ve been working on some more wedding commissions! Bow ties are something we’ve always wanted to offer so what better than to provide for a previous client, who’d asked us to create his art deco invitations. You may well recognise this (art) ‘Deco’ pattern from our Bespoke Wedding Invitations post and it was lovely to be asked to utilise it again. From […]
Bespoke Wedding Invitations
With wedding season just around the corner, we’ve been busy at The Kat & Monocle designing custom-made invitations. We always aim to create them to your exact specifications and they do not have to match our usual illustrative style. The latest one is now at printing stage and we’re really excited to see how it turns […]
Commissioned Pet Portraits
On this bright winter’s day we’ve decided to promote our Pet Portraits as we feel it’s a service we just don’t celebrate enough. It seems ironic really, considering this is how most of our design ranges are initiated, so here’s to celebrating it more! Hand drawing plays such an important role – not only in our […]

There were many requests via the team’s Facebook page for advice on […]

The Makery, a company based in Bath, who have been leading all sorts of fabulous, creative workshops since 2009, have only recently spread […]
Handmade Silk Ties – Now Available from our Shop!
We’re very proud to announce that our very latest, and may we say very dapper, edition to our range – the Handmade Gentleman’s Silk Tie, is now available from our online shop! Having learned to make a tie through last week’s ‘Make a Tie’ workshop at The Makery, we decided to dabble in silk and […]

The tie features our very own ‘Triangular’ fabric design, digitally printed in the UK, which we think […]
