I first discovered Monster Threads' clothing at their stall at Glebe Markets, a stall which I sought out every weekend to check out their new designs and to see how many shirts/singlets I could afford that week (sadly, it was more often none than some).
Discovering the Monster Threads shop in Newtown was fantastic - now I didn't have to refine my Monster shopping days to Saturdays! Their t-shirt, singlet and hoodie designs are intelligent, quirky and artistic, illustrated by artists from Europe, USA, Asia and Australia. Their jewellery is unique, quirky and affordable, my current favourite being a bendy limbed and tarnished Pinocchio hanging like a puppet from a long chain.
You can buy Monster Threads products online, but a trip to their Newtown store is much more fun as you can completely immerse yourself in the world of Monster Threads, with pencil cases, wallets, plates, mugs, prints, toys, cards and wallets. Monster Threads now has five stores in Australia and New Zealand, which must mean that my love for them is not as original as their designs, but also that my options extend beyond Glebe markets. read more
