Made-In-Monaco Collections From Monoïkos 1297 Tell The Story Of The Grimaldi Dynasty.
We draw inspiration from Monaco and its history, starting with our company name, Monoïkos 1297. Monoïkos refers to one of the fi rst names of the port of Monaco by a Greek philosopher, a port frequented since ancient times and associated with Hercules. 1297 is the year François Grimaldi, disguised as a monk, captured the fortress and gave birth to the Grimaldi dynasty, a palace and the Principality of Monaco.
Launched in fall 2021, Monoïkos 1297 products are closely linked and developed in correlation with what constitutes the very quintessence of the Principality on a historical level, heritage, events, environmental and charitable.
As an eco-responsible label, we pride ourselves on luxury Made-in-Monaco products—candles, ties, triangles, pocket squares, large silk squares, losanges, shawls, beach towels and our signature Malicieux—by using local artisan designers within 250 kilometers from Monaco, as well as collaborations that guarantee fair and equitable income. We also signed the government’s energy transition pact to abide by its eco-responsible charter.
Our sourced products are trusted to the hands of artisans: The Nose (Grasse), The Wax Maker (Grasse), The Glass Maker (Savone), The Textile Worker (Grenoble) and The Printer (Monaco).
Beyond the materials, each collection of drawings narrates its own story: Neighborhoods, Symbols, Explorer Prince, Grand Prix and Boats of the Principality. To honor this centenary year of the birth of Prince Rainier, who created the Monte- Carlo International Circus Festival in 1974, we have launched a new Circus collection, which includes the malicieux, large silk square, pocket square and losanges.
For Monoïkos 1297, our bottom line is not about mass production but o ering luxury and exclusivity. Much like Monaco then and now.
