Despite the chilly temperatures and crisp air, I’ve seen more sun in one week in Berlin than I’d seen for months back home in Dublin. Summer is well and truly on its way and being the nostalgic sap that I am, I can’t help but think about all the London frolics from last Summer, all the v. lovely, inspiring people doing it for themselves (throwing gargantuan themed parties, converting old warehouses), rather than waiting for others to get the ball rolling which was kind of the case in Dublin at the time…
One such person was Ruth, whose infectious enthusiasm and astounding work ethic has recently convinced two others (Karen and Dave) to band together with her in founding a print tee label. Unpretentiously titled Print Monkey, the label offers painstakingly designed prints on classic 100% American Apparel tees (so no woeful Fruit of the Loom quality) at an affordable price-point of £19.95.

Oh, and they do women’s, too!
So you are in Berlin now for the summer? I thought you are just there for a week right now? I told you the flats are amazing! Ok, I was never that keen on Friedrichshain. But you will move a couple of more times anyway till you find your place. Have fun in Berlin. Alles Gute und schreib ueber deine Erfahrungen. Love Raj The Fashion Philosopher
I love the prints on the tee's! Do you think they will just stick to tee's or also do some art prints and other stuff? Really great, and inspiring too!
Raj: Ja, bin letzte Woche in die Stadt angekommen und so weit, so gut ; ) Du hast Recht – Friedrichshain gefällt mir nicht so gut, aber ich ziehe vielleicht bald nach Schöneberg/Kreuzberg um. Hoffentlich!OF: Possibly! I'm not entirely sure of their plans yet but I guess they'll see how it goes with the tees first.C.
