Today's @justacard challenge is to spread the word about what the just a card message means to us and why it's important to support artists, creators, small businesses etc. When you buy from a small business/artist your buying into their dream, their ideas and allowing them to spread the word of their creativity and message so that the rest of the world can also enjoy it for themselves and feel a part of something special, a part of a community of people with the same beliefs and values. Because a world without art, a sense of coummunity and a little bit of escapism would be really dull 💜 So here is a collage of some of our favourite images that shows what we've created from the designs to behind the scenes to happy photos of you guys wearing GM. All that makes us feel proud to be a small independent business, a community that we should all get involved with. Thank you for supporting us, enjoying our designs all allowing us to spread out message #inspiringyoutobeyou * * * * #justacard #indiebusiness #shopindie #independentlabel #mycreativebiz #2ndfloorchester #grungemonkey #pastelgoth #pastels #pastelclothing #pastelgrunge #softgoth #softgrunge #grunge #grungefashion #palegrunge #grungestyle #grungegirls #gothfashion #gothgirls #darkfashion  #gothsofinstagram #gothbabes #kawaiifashion #kawaiigirls #altgirls #alternativefashion #funfashion #chester (at Chester, Cheshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VS52bFykg/?igshid=10lv1bltmcr4g

Happy Monday!!! This week we are going to be celebrating #indieweek alongside millions of other indie business owners for @justacard 👍 So for those of you who don't already know my name's Kim, I am the sole owner of The Grunge Monkey, I run this little business myself from creating the designs to packing up your orders. You've probably seen me p**sing around a LOT over on our stories 😜  I am at my happiest when I have a nice cup of Charles in my hand with a blanket wrapped around me whilst designing on Photoshop 💜 The Grunge Monkey is an alternative fashion label that's all about having fun with ideas and inspiring you to just be you. I am based in the heart of Chester where I make around 90% of the stock right here in our second home, @2ndfloorchester. Grunge Monkey is now a whole 5 years old and growing every year 💜 For those who know my closely, my brand is my first love, I live it, breathe it and rather naughtily put it before anything else. To be able to make a living from expressing my creative ideas is a dream come true. I am forever grateful for the support I get from you guys so thank you above all else 😘😘😘 And finally..for those who didn't know I am also co-owner of one of Chester's Biggest Independent Shop @2ndfloorchester with my bestie/business partner @junkboxapparel. We have been open for around 18 months, we have both put our heart and soul into this place to make it our home and a place for all your independent shopping needs. With a collaboration of so many talented traders from across the UK, we are packed full of very unique, mostly handmade products that will suit everyone. It's our our little treasure chest 💙 * * * * #justacard #indiebusiness #shopindie #independentlabel #mycreativebiz #2ndfloorchester #grungemonkey #pastelgoth #pastels #pastelclothing #pastelgrunge #softgoth #softgrunge #grunge #grungefashion #palegrunge #grungestyle #grungegirls #gothfashion #gothgirls #darkfashion  #gothsofinstagram #gothbabes #kawaiifashion #kawaiigirls #altgirls #alternativefashion #funfashion #chester (at Chester, Cheshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5SsbsBlwo0/?igshid=uelvqtaz7wxg
