A delicate monogram hand sewn in fine silks has long been seen as the height of sartorial sophistication. A traditional emblem of style on a gentlemen’s shirt or a gift that will be cherished forever, a monogram makes it personal. For over 100 years Savile Row tailors have been sending their shirts to Hand & Lock to monogram. The desire to add initials has since expanded to pyjamas, bath robes, wedding gifts, wallets, slippers, gloves, hats and more. Join us for a special weekend of Monogramming learning this beautiful artform from our expert embroidery tutors.

Lunch is not included and the school room will be locked for a one-hour break, with the timing set by the tutor. We also have a list of local places to grab lunch, and there are lots of lovely venues nearby.

Accessibility

Our school is located upstairs in our studio. Unfortunately the building does not have lift access, so use of the stairs would be necessary.
