UKFT member MOON (Abraham Moon & Sons) is one of Europe’s leading mills specialising in woollen textiles, operating from their vertical mill in Yorkshire since 1837. Family-owned for six generations, they produce cloth using natural fibres, all made under one roof and supported by trusted partnerships. With a transparent, long-term approach to sustainability, they supply fashion and interiors brands worldwide through stock collections and bespoke developments - backed by generations of textile expertise.
Monocle is an independent voice on global affairs, business, design, culture and much more. Founded in 2007, Monocle goes beyond the headlines to deliver sharp analysis, inspiring ideas and deep reporting – and all with an ambitious global perspective.
Blending Monocle's distinctive design language with MOON's textile expertise and rich British heritage, the collaboration came to be through a shared passion for craft - with both brands having carved a distinctive space in the market in championing the traditions of their industry, while simultaneously producing for the needs of sartorially discerning, contemporary audiences.
Designed by Monocle using MOON's Yorkshire-made luxurious 90% merino wool and 10% cashmere cloth, the new scarf launches in three colourways, finished with a specially designed Monocle x MOON label. The scarves retail at £95 and will be available from September 24th online as well as in Monocle shops across the globe, including in London, Paris, Zürich, Merano, St. Moritz, Toronto, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

The range of scarves are made from MOON fabrics, each created using time honoured techniques in its Guiseley mill - one of the few vertical woollen mills in Europe that still has the rare ability to carry out every stage of production under one roof, from dyeing and blending raw wool fibres through to spinning, weaving and finishing. The inherent durability and longevity of the wool fibres chosen for this collaboration also reflects both brands’ focus on creating high-quality pieces intended to be enjoyed well beyond a single season. The collaboration also includes a padded duffle coat crafted in a MOON herringbone cloth, due to launch in October.
Monocle joins a curated list of international brands that turn to MOON for its unparalleled textiles, with its products also used by Christian Dior, Saint Laurent, Hugo Boss, Barbour, Aimé Leon Dore and Sunspel.
