A New Chapter for Monarque — A Note From Gabriel & Sunshine

We have some happy news to share, and we wanted you to hear it directly from us.

Monarque has joined the Garden Works family of brands — alongside Garden Works, Star Kitchen & Home, and Vinrella. We're Gabriel and Sunshine Chapman — a husband-and-wife team, longtime lovers of art and beautiful design, and the proud new owners of these brands. We didn't come looking for just any brand to build. We came looking for one with soul. When we discovered Monarque, we knew almost immediately: this was it.

Why Monarque

There are plenty of accessories in the world. What makes Monarque different is the idea at its heart — that art shouldn't be something you only visit in a museum. It should be something you carry. A Van Gogh in your pocket. A Laurel Burch that makes you smile every time you reach for it. A Frida Kahlo pattern that turns an ordinary card case into a small daily pleasure.

That idea spoke to us because it's how we already saw the world. We believe the things you use every day deserve to be beautiful — not saved for special occasions, but woven into ordinary ones. Monarque has been quietly living that belief for years, and it shows in the details: the thoughtful function, the durable materials, and above all, the artwork that stops you in your tracks.

But what truly won us over wasn't the products. It was you. The customers who leave glowing reviews. The gift-shop owners who restock again and again because their shelves keep emptying. The people who say "this is so me" — or "this is so her" — and mean it. A brand is only as strong as the community around it, and Monarque's community is something special.

What isn't changing

We'll say this clearly, because it's the part that matters most: the Monarque you love isn't going anywhere.

The same designs. The same artists. The same quality and care in every piece. The things that made you fall for Monarque in the first place are exactly the things we intend to protect. We're not here to reinvent what's working — we're here to honor it, and to give it room to grow.

The vision ahead

So what is changing? The pace of what's possible.

With fresh energy behind the brand, you can expect more of what you love and a few wonderful new things, too:

• More designs to fall for — new artists, new collections, and more of the fine-art masters, florals, animals, and inspirational pieces that make Monarque feel personal.
• More ways to carry art — thoughtful new styles and everyday essentials, always pairing beauty with real function.
• A brand that shows up — more stories, more behind-the-art moments, and more chances to connect with the community that makes this brand what it is.

Our north star is simple, and it's the same one Monarque has always followed: make beautiful things useful, and useful things beautiful. Bring art into everyday life — and make it a joy to own and to give.

Thank you

To everyone who has carried a Monarque piece, given one as a gift, or told a friend where they found it — thank you. You are the reason this brand is worth building on, and we don't take that lightly.

We're just getting started, and we can't wait to show you what's next. Come along with us — the best chapters are still ahead.

With gratitude and a lot of excitement,

Gabriel & Sunshine Chapman
