Imagine all the captivating treasures it may hide. And think about the excitement of being able to be the first to discovering them all. That is exactly how the two Beijingers, Xiao Qiu and Jin Qiu, wants you to feel when you step into their concept boutique, MONSTER<\/a>. Opened just a year ago the store has become a must see in the hipster area of Gulou. Xiao and Jin are designers and illustration artists; and their quirky personalities influenced the concept and aesthetic behind MONSTER. \u201cOur love for imaginative and unique accessories eventually lead us to the store name \"GuaiWu\"; which has the double meaning of \u201cMonster\u201d and \u201ccurious objects\u201d in Chinese\u201d, Jin explains. The boutique is certainly earning adepts among young Chinese with a strong personal style who love imaginative and unique accessories; and who are eager to discover new independent designer brands.\r\n\r\n
