Accessorize story starts back in 1973 when the first Monsoon boutique opened on London’s Beauchamp Place. Peter Simon,  the founder had returned from a life-changing road trip around Asia, determined to share the colorful marvels of his experience. And the first Monsoon collections featured gorgeous bohemian clothes made in Indian villages using hand-loomed cotton fabrics, organic vegetable dyes and artisanal block-printing techniques. Ten years later came the launch of the Accessorize brand.

Today, our two great sister brands have an international presence with over 1,000 stores around the world. Accessorize is recognised for its unique identity and distinctive handwriting inspired by mesmerizing colours, patterns, textures and hand-craft techniques from magical, faraway places.
