Monki Copenhagen

May 26, 2012 - 11:48 am

Walking in to Monki is like walking into a fashion fantasy: quirky coinpurses in the shape of watermelons, banana bag necklaces, furry little stuffed animal critters—all things that make you want to scream, “Kawaii!”  Monki makes fashion fun again: it’s a concept store, a fashion brand, a magazine and so much more. Monki stores are proverbial walk-in closets “filled with treasures.”

Each location has separate themes like “Forgotten Forest,” the bio-hazardous “City of Oil and Steel” or the magical “Sea of Scallops.” Get ready for a trippy, trendy experience.  While you can find unique, no-one-else-will-have-this pieces to take home, the kooky-cool shop also has basics that your closet will thank you for: dark and light denim, sheer blouses, skirts and things sure to take you through the spring and summer, no problem.  Take a peek at these images of the Monki store in Copenhagen, carousel-themed and dreamy.

I skip through other fashion, food and hotel greats in Copenhagen in my latest post on Lookbooks.com. Read my monthly column, “Eat, Shop Stay: Copenhagen. Read it here!
