Konfekt is an elegant and expansive quarterly magazine launched in 2020 by the creators of Monocle. Edited in London by Sophie Grove – with bureaux in Paris, Tokyo and Zürich – its essays, interviews and deep reportage cover the worlds of fashion, food, craft, travel and design.
Focusing on unhurried prose with plenty of long, lingering suppers and brisk, reviving swims – Konfekt is a celebration of spirited hosts, inimitable style, hikes in the wilds and beautifully crafted things. It’s a meditation on the meaning of modern luxury and a reflection on the essence of living well.
Each issue is brimming with inspiring travel itineraries, considered interiors, tasty recipes and winning seasonal looks.
Keep up to date with all things Konfekt via our fortnightly newsletter and monthly podcast.

We explore the future of fashion with a preview of the FutureFabrics Expo, delve into a new form of storytelling with perfumery Fischersund and meet Delcy Morelos ahead of her ‘Origo’ installation at the Barbican Centre.
Our summer issue is packed full of roadtrips, holiday style and inspiring beach reads for a sun-soaked season. We sail around the Finnish archipelago with a designer and play tennis on the French Riviera. There’s a chance to meet a new order of creatives redefining Malta’s design and hospitality scene, and dip in the country’s azure Mediterranean waters. Pull up a chair in the dappled shade for a long, absorbing roundtable on the allure and power of island life, which takes place next to an 18th-century windmill in Hydra, Greece. The issue is a celebration of the freedom and beachy escapism found in high summer. We’ll introduce you to the Sicilian family business pioneering chic minimalist garments and drop in to Madrid’s most elegant multibrand shop for a lesson on hot-weather dressing. Our travel special will take you to inimitable homes on the Aeolian archipelago and to a glorious garden in the Balearics. Plus: dreamy recipes in a Mallorcan garden and Konfekt’s signature cocktails for summer entertaining.
As an extra treat, you can now buy a Konfekt subscription and have the next four issues in the series delivered straight to your door – wherever you are in the world.
