The magazine for Sharp Dressing, Drinking, Dining, Travel and Design.

Your chic companion

Konfekt is a clever, elegant quarterly magazine launched in 2020 by the creators of Monocle. Edited between Zürich and London, and printed in Germany, it is a deep dive into the worlds of fashion, craft, travel and design.

With a focus on unhurried reportage - and plenty of long, lingering suppers and brisk reviving swims - Konfekt is a celebration of spirited hosts and hikes in the wilds and beautiful things made well.

Each issue is brimming with inspiring travel itineraries, tasty recipes and chic seasonal looks.

Keep up to date with all things Konfekt via our equally joyful newsletter and monthly podcast.

With good humour, an exacting eye and a brave spirit, Konfekt celebrates a chic, understated glamour.
