Konfekt, Issue 15 – Summer 2024

Konfekt is a magazine for Sharp Dressing, Drinking, Dining, Travel and Design from the creators of Monocle.

Edited between Zürich and London, and printed in Germany, it is a rich, sumptuous quarterly publication covering fashion, travel, design, drinking, dining and culture in both English and German.

With good humour, an exacting eye and a brave spirit, Konfekt celebrates a chic, understated glamour, seeks out lesser-known stories and opens closed doors. It’s an ebullient host, a mountain trek, a winter spin on a handsome bike and even a leap into an icy lake (with the promise of a warming Reisetbauer eau de vie).

Edited by Monocle magazine’s senior editor and former Paris editor Sophie Grove and with Marcela Palek as style director, Konfekt also calls on a roster of leading journalists, thinkers and photographers from Germany, Switzerland, France and beyond. Konfekt offers an authoritative voice with wit, wisdom and just the right amount of warmth and wonder.

It’s time to set off on a sun-soaked summer journey: let Konfekt’s new travel-themed issue inspire a few itineraries. Whether you prefer a grande dame on the Ligurian coast or a bolthole in Patmos, our annual hotel guide will be happy to assist you when choosing where to check in for a seaside holiday. Follow us around the Mediterranean as we dip into the turquoise waters of the Egadi islands, stop off for brunch with an artist in Tunis and discuss the future of tourism with crafty thinkers in Mallorca. From breezy outfits that are redefining Portuguese fashion to South African straw hats and whimsical Belgian dresses, our fashion pages are filled with ideas on what to pack for your next trip. We also offer up a feast of Greek-Italian recipes for al fresco hosting, tips for the crispest bottle of white and the perfect end-of-day aperitif, as well as long reads and smart reportage to dive straight into.
