Fabric and wallpaper design house Jean Monro has been trusted by the world’s leading interior designers for almost half a century.

Founded in 1981, the brand is known for its range of English country-house chintz, with patterns inspired by the 18th, 19th and early 20th century.

Under the stewardship of Turnell & Gigon since 1998, the house’s extraordinary archive of original prints and hand blocks forms the foundation of everything it creates. Each pattern carries a history; each colourway is meticulously considered.

In recognition of this dedication to heritage and craft, Jean Monro was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth II in 2005, an honour proudly continued under HM King Charles III.

The
Challenge

Jean Monro’s existing website no longer reflected the quality, heritage, and breadth of its collections. 

March was appointed to elevate the digital experience, creating a more refined and intuitive platform for exploring fabrics, wallpapers, and colourways.

The Brand

We refined and extended the existing visual language to create a more expressive brand system.

We introduced a new colour palette inspired by some of Jean Monro’s most celebrated designs, creating a closer connection between the brand and its collection.

We delivered an elevated typographic system, pairing elegant serif typefaces with subtle handwritten forms to reflect both the heritage and tactile nature of the archive.

"Jean Monro is a collection with an extraordinary history behind it, and we wanted the website to honour that properly. The designs in our archive carry real stories, real provenance, and a spirit that is entirely their own. What March understood from the beginning was that this needed to feel joyous as well as considered — playfully elegant in the way that Jean herself always was. We are absolutely delighted with what they have created."

The Results

The new brand and digital experience position Jean Monro for the future while honouring the heritage that has defined it for generations. Elegant, intuitive, and built for growth, the new website is a fitting platform for one of Britain’s most respected textile houses.
