Our Favourite American Monogrammers

We love that monogramming is a centuries-old tradition, and as relevant today as it ever was. We've made it our mission to make monogramming modern with graphic design and machine embroidery, and lots of fun monogramming inspiration from both vintage European font styles and contemporary ones too.

We often look to America for contemporary inspiration so, as the USA is undoubtedly on many peoples' travel agenda this summer, we thought we'd share our favourite American monogrammers.

Monogramming styles vary widely in different parts of the country... if you happen to be near any of these destinations this summer, stop in and see what we mean. If not, have an armchair travel experience while browsing their websites. Either way, tell them we sent you!

Traditional colours like navy, red and green on traditional items like bed linens and bath towels are favoured, along with preppy accessories like boat totes.  Check out:

Southerners entertain graciously, almost always with monogrammed napkins. You'll see lots of monogrammed table and bed linens with large, elaborate font styles in bold, bright colours. Appliqué is often used on bed linen to achieve a really large design without heavy stitching. The Southern states are monogramming Mecca and there are so many wonderful businesses. Here are just a few that constantly inspire us:
