Monk's Trunk is moving! We'll be closed starting May 21 - come shop this weekend before we pack!

We've moving!  Don't worry, we're staying in the neighborhood and will remain close to Flatbush. We have always intended on staying in our current location temporarily and are excited about the move.

We don't have the lease signed yet, so we can't say anything more at the moment out of fear of jinxing it. But we'll be closing the shop starting Tuesday, May 21. We're not sure of the reopen date yet but will be sure to keep you posted.

We'll be extending consignment times for everyone who currently has things on consignment this season.If you have any questions, call us any time during store hours.
