Synopsis

Shops with substance

Since launch, the retail world has been one of the pillars of monocle's editorial coverage. This is a must-have guide for anyone in the industry from the independent boutique owner to the shopping-mall ceo but, equally, for anyone who enjoys a bit of retail therapy.

We unpack what makes a perfect shopping experience and offer tips on how to launch, design and run your own store. Through interviews, in-depth reports, essays, insight and opinion, we explore the state of the high street and make a case for why bricks-and-mortar shops are resolutely here to stay.

What to expect:
Our favourite 100 shops
The ideal high street, market, kiosk and shopping mall
Advice on starting out
Essays: why we all love stationery shops, the perfect staff-to-customer ratio and more
The shuttered shops we wish still existed
Interviews with the industry's key players
Three countries that make selling look simple

Our origin story began with a focus on the aesthetic, particularly that of graphic design and, over the last two decades, the scope of both our content and our expertise has widened. Today, using a myriad of observations of culture, people, art, and other intimate inspirational informants, we document and anticipate vital movements in architecture, visual culture, design & fashion, escapism, food & beverages, travel, and contemporary art. In 2014, Little Gestalten joined the literary ranks and ensured that there was a place for readers of all ages within the world of gestalten.
