WHO WE ARE

Weekday is where culture moves fast and expression runs deep. Your everyday remix wrapped in denim. Too much, not enough, perfect. A wardrobe of contrasts: Effortless basics, monochrome shades, and edgy cuts. The signature jeans that go with everything—and express it all. More than fashion - it’s a moment, a mood, culture in motion. Every version, all at once.

Monki is a state of mind, wearing the moods all the time. From hot basics to It-dresses and skirts, wild prints to match whatever feels right. It’s about the energy, the fierce force that’s always on point and ever-present. It’s being curious —imagining it, making it real, because style is never just one thing. Learn more about Weekday here.
