The ‘Scandi-cool’ brand will open in the city for the first time this spring

With ‘shimmering stairs’, ‘sea beast scales’, ‘disco cloud lighting’ and ‘rainbow fitting rooms’ Manchester’s first Monki store is expected to be a colourful production.

The Swedish fashion brand will unveil its imaginative ‘Monki World’ concept store in Manchester Arndale late this spring. Part of the H&M group, the new store will join the brand’s large international portfolio. 

Popular with millennials, Monki boasts trendy ‘Scandi cool' meets 'Asian street style' and has a reputation for throwing colourful events and parties. Those au fait with the brand will know it for its fun and fearless approach to dressing and fashion (think Urban Outfitters meets Topshop). 

Monki has a huge online fanbase, and has been celebrated for its diverse model casting

Monki has a huge online fanbase, and has been celebrated for its diverse model casting and its ‘mission to empower young women’ with its representative campaigns.

“Monki is a 360 experience – our style, our community, our expressive stores online and on the high street and our commitment to empower young women, are all part of it,” says Lea Rytz Goldman, Managing Director for Monki. “We’re thrilled to bring the full concept to fans of our style in Northern England."

Upon opening, the first 100 shoppers will be greeted with a 40% discount while a further 20% off will be offered throughout opening day.
