A BRIGHT, fun children's wear shop has arrived in the town.

Funky Monkey, based in the former ‘Butter me Up’ bakery on Windsor Road, has already proved very popular with some styles selling out in just a week.

The shop has products to suit all tastes and pockets, with multi-pack socks at £2.50, two pairs of school joggers for £10 and two 100% cotton T-shirts for £10.

Many items in Funky Monkey are Organic cotton, ensuring that clothes are kind to the skin and wash again and again.

Having worked in retail for more than 20 years, Penarth residents and owners of Funky Monkey Justin and Rebecca decided to go it alone and bring their bright, fun children's wear to Penarth.

They said: “As parents of two young kids, we know how hard it can be to find really fun, good quality and reasonably priced clothing. So we decided to open Funky Monkey.

"We’re so pleased with the positive feedback that we’ve received and are very grateful for the support of our customers.

"We hope that this will be the first of several Funky Monkey shops – watch this space.”

Funky Monkey opens from Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm.
