Our Story
Be The Other is a London-based accessories brand creating multi-wear pieces that celebrate individuality and the art of self-expression. What began with handmade brooches has now grown to include silk scarves — versatile essentials designed to be styled, re-styled, and reimagined in countless ways.
We believe accessories should do more than decorate; they should empower you to play, explore, and transform your wardrobe. Each piece is crafted to inspire creativity — whether that’s elevating a simple outfit, giving new life to much-loved clothes, or adding the finishing touch that makes your style unmistakably yours.
What We Value
Creative Confidence
At Be The Other, we believe fashion is more than what you wear — it’s how you tell your story. Our pieces are designed as tools of self-expression, encouraging you to embrace your individuality, experiment freely, and celebrate what makes you unique. Whether you prefer subtle accents or bold statements, we empower you to style on your own terms and inspire confidence in every look.
Style Unlimited
Versatility is at the heart of everything we create. From brooches that transform a blazer, hat, or bag, to scarves that can be worn as tops, wraps, or accessories, each design invites you to explore endless styling possibilities. With Be The Other, your wardrobe is never limited — it’s refreshed, reimagined, and ready to adapt to every mood, moment, and outfit.
Reinspire
We believe in fashion that feels good and does good. Our pieces inspire you to re-love your wardrobe, giving timeless pieces a fresh new twist while reducing waste. By choosing versatile, handcrafted designs, you’re making a conscious choice to repurpose, restyle, and rethink how you wear fashion — proving that true style is both personal and purposeful.
Meet Monique
Be The Other was born from my desire to create accessories that break the mould and empower self-expression. I’ve always been fascinated by how the smallest details — a scarf styled elegantly, or a brooch pinned in the right place — can completely transform not just an outfit, but the way you feel in it.
My journey didn’t begin in traditional jewellery space, but in graphic design. That background gave me the freedom to see accessories differently — as canvases for creativity, colour, and individuality. Scarves and brooches became my playground: versatile, multi-wear pieces that can be styled in countless ways, allowing you to re-love, repurpose, and reinvent your wardrobe again and again.
My love affair with accessories started from childhood, watching my mum effortlessly wrap scarves around her head, shoulders, and neck. Later, I drew inspiration from the boldness of the 80s — where brooches weren’t just finishing touches, but expressions of personality. That’s the energy I want Be The Other to carry: playful, versatile, and unapologetically individual.
This is more than fashion. It’s about rewriting the rules, embracing versatility, and celebrating what makes you you.
Dare to Be The Other.
