Monki

S&O went to the inaugural event of Langoor's successor in name Monki. We find the trend to name a store after an animal invaluable. This yet an other of Fabric Scandinavien AB set up Monki here is a special one we say with a logo that is taken off of a Japanese PS game LocoRoco, tinkered carefully to suit Monki needs, eased into a brilliant location in Helsinki, stocked up with branded clothes that look a lot similar to the one's in youth famous H&M

On a rather gloomy day S&O breezed into Monki again 4 days after the inaugural. With no specific purchase agenda. Babes standing tall with trays of champagne bottles with straws in 'em were replaced by frowning faces, we wonder what caused the drastic difference in staff's hospitality... was it overwork or frustrating sales with competitive stores less than 10 steps away. Whatever it maybe we really wish dear Monki a good business and cool new strategies to cheer up the staff.

Vision to use less and less chemicals and striving to use at least 11% percent of organic cotton by the end of 2011 is what S&O finds impressive. We also like the jazzy interiors that match the mystic fairytalish narration behind all price tags. They have sequels if you are interested in their story telling abilities right here .

S&O signs off wishing Monki to be the next rising star of stores in one of the big malls like GVK standing shoulder to shoulder with it's cousing Langoor in Hyderabad exchanging tips.
