The local design house, House of Monatic, which includes the labels Carducci, Carducci Women, C2 and Viyella is celebrating ten decades of excellence this year. I have spent a bit of time with them lately and will show you some of their latest work this week — and give you some behind the scenes info including a few pics of me attempting to fit my feet into new-age Cinderella shoes. Head of their brands is a lovely guy called Mark Gooding. He is the blond chap on the left.
