History
ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY?
Everyone has a story to tell. Ours began with one man and his vision to share the exotic, rich, vibrant fabrics and colours of a life-changing road trip around Asia. It’s a journey that started back in 1973 and one you could still be very much part of.
A COLOURFUL PAST
In 1972 our founder, Peter Simon, returned from an adventure that was to change the face of British fashion. Merging his passion for beautiful exotic fabrics and fine clothing, he began trading from a stall in Portobello Road. One year later, he opened the first Monsoon store in Beauchamp Place. Eleven years after that he opened the first Accessorize store in Covent Garden and there are now more than 1,000 Monsoon Accessorize stores all over the world. Nowadays Peter has the support of talented people all over the world who are delivering the Monsoon Accessorize future, today. It is Peter’s passion and vision that has attracted a legion of talented people all over the world who, together, help him to deliver the Monsoon promise each and every day.
