Everyday People, Thrifting Everyday Looks.
Monarch Thrift Shop kicked off the year on WGN-TV Spotlight Chicago with an 8-minute segment highlighting how thrifting makes it possible to build thoughtful, elevated looks at accessible prices, without contributing to overproduction or waste.

We also shared more about our in-house job training program, our sustainability impact, and yes...the highly talked about "Color of the Year".

Thank you to our models, who are also customers showcasing Monarch, Monarch Luxe, and Monarch Kids!

"Monarch Thrift Shop" is where sustainability meets community with affordable options for everyone and opportunities for those in-need. Mireya Fouche joins us with more.

As part of the LoganDale small business Hot Cocoa Crawl, will be serving homemade champurrado. Thank You Mama de Leslie!💐🦋

Champurrado is a traditional, thick, and warm Mexican 🇲🇽beverage made from chocolate, cinnamon, and piloncillo, thickened with masa harina. It’s a hearty, chocolate-based atole that’s popular during colder months, holidays like Day of the Dead, and is often served with tamales or churros.
