Introducing: The Originals Collection
Our story began in 1973 with our founder's vision to bring the beautiful, hand-worked fabrics of India and beyond, back to Portobello Market in London. Fast-forward to 2023 and Monsoon is turning 50. To celebrate, we bring you The Originals: a limited-edition collection that takes you on the journey from our bohemian heritage to our bold expressive future...
How our past shapes our future
Ever since we fell in love with faraway craft traditions in the 1970s, we have believed in protecting their legacy.
That's why, for this special anniversary collection, we couldn't wait to draw inspiration from our original archives.
Leafing through the pages of our swatch books, we found the most beautiful vintage patterns, details, colours and
fabrics - unseen for years. From embroidered paradise parrots to beaded flowers and abstract shapes, there was so much
energy to take inspiration from.
Every piece in the collection is a celebration of beautiful craftsmanship - of everything that inspired us 50 years
ago
- but with a new, contemporary edge.

Bold and statement-making, yet undeniably feminine – this collection is the definition of empowered dressing.
