A note of history
The Exotic Garden of Monaco is a true gem of the Principality, a verdant oasis suspended between sky and sea, offering a dazzling spectacle of nature in all its splendor. Situated on a hillside, this unique botanical garden is a genuine ode to biodiversity, a place where rare and fascinating plant species from all corners of the world coexist.
The Exotic Garden of Monaco was created under the initiative of Prince Albert I, a great enthusiast of nature and sciences. He began the collection of exotic plants, particularly cacti and succulents, during his travels around the world. Inaugurated in 1933 by Prince Louis II, the Exotic Garden of Monaco was designed as a sanctuary for exotic plants, especially cacti and succulents, which are cherished and preserved here in an environment that faithfully replicates their natural habitat.
Strolling through the garden’s pathways, one is immediately struck by the diversity and beauty of shapes and colors. Giant, sculptural cacti reach towards the sky, while thick, fleshy agave leaves bask in the sunlight. All of this is enhanced by an unbeatable panoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea and the Principality of Monaco.
However, the Exotic Garden of Monaco is not just a place for contemplation. It is also a center for research and conservation where scientific work is conducted to preserve these plant species, threatened by climate change and the destruction of their natural habitats.
Lastly, the Exotic Garden of Monaco is also a place of historical significance. It houses the Observatory Cave, a classified prehistoric site where remains of Neanderthal men and extinct animals have been discovered.
The Exotic Garden of Monaco is a world apart, where nature reigns supreme, and where each plant, each rock, each view of the sea tells a story. It is a magical place that amazes and inspires, bearing witness to the Principality’s commitment to preserving our precious biodiversity.
A stole of exception
The Monoïkos 1297 stoles are 100% cotton and made in France.
Attention to detail sets them apart, with our commitment to quality reflected in perfect finishes crafted by artisans trained in excellence.
The boxes are made in the Principality using FSC-certified paper from responsibly managed forests.
This stole-pareo, extremely light, fine, and soft, from the “Le Jardin Exotique de Monaco” collection, aims to celebrate the beauty of nature and the splendors that the Exotic Garden offers.
The cotton
The cotton for this garment has been carefully selected. Cotton is a natural, plant-based fiber, one of the oldest and most widely used fibers in the world. Like most natural fibers, cotton is a breathable material. It has the unique characteristic of not being too warm in the summer and very comfortable in the winter. A cotton stole will not absorb your sweat and will always remain very comfortable to wear.
To preserve its quality over time, we recommend washing this stole with a mild detergent at 30°C, or better yet, washing it by hand with a teaspoon of white vinegar and letting it dry flat. Alternatively, you can entrust its care to a specialist.
