This Alpine vest from Maison Douillet has been made exclusively for Monocle, with an additional inner pocket, along with natural horn-tip buttons made by Jura artisans and a co-branded interior label. The material is worthy of note too: the vest is made from merino virgin wool that is woven in Austria, along with an organic cotton-poplin lining.
Dedicated to the preservation and craft of one of the world’s oldest stringed instruments, Abu Dhabi’s Bait Al Oud offers a wonderfully warm reception to seasoned lovers of ancient Arabic music and newcomers alike. Established by oud master Naseer Shamma, the centre aims to both retain the musical heritage of the instrument and to take it forward to become part of a new generation of music.
Bait Al Oud features in Destination Abu Dhabi, Monocle’s new guide celebrating 101 must-visit places for culture, hospitality and more.
