Hip golf shop.
VOL.3 Monsey (Hiroo, Tokyo)

I want to pay attention to how I dress even on the golf course. I feel like I can hit a good shot if I can raise my motivation a little with my clothes, and if I can enjoy fashion in addition to playing golf, I'm sure I'll like golf even more. If you're looking for golf wear that suits you, these are the stores you should go to. The third store I picked up was the flagship store of Monsey, a brand that has gained popularity for its iconic donkey head cover.

Chapter 09 | Shops for Golfers

Monsey is located along Gaien Nishi-dori. It moved from a nearby neighborhood this spring and is now in a spacious store. The street is called "Golf Street" because of the high concentration of golf shops nearby, but it has had a neon sign that reads "GOLF STREET" since before that.

Create a unique style with a one-of-a-kind head cover made from vintage clothing.

Launched in 2014, Mongie also offers clothing and caddy bags, but the donkey head cover is particularly noteworthy. The adorable appearance is impactful, and the unique design adds a playful touch to golf styles. Designer Tomoki Uesako, who is the representative of Mongie, has had a special attachment to head covers since he was a child.

“Among golf items, including clothing, I felt that head covers in particular had a unique quality. As I collected a wide variety of them, I wanted something with a more unique design, so I decided to make them myself, and that’s how I started Monsey.”

The end result is a one-of-a-kind handmade item made from fabrics from used and vintage clothing. The items are made from used clothing that Kamisako purchases in the United States several times a year. Initially, he tried making various animals, but eventually settled on a donkey. Its cute appearance has been met with a great response from professional golfers, and it has now become a beloved animal among a wide range of golfers.

Monsey is located in Hiroo, a town lined with golf shops. Donkey head covers are on display in the gallery space on the first floor, and the shop spreads out as you descend the stairs to the basement. The white-based interior gives the shop a sophisticated impression, and as Uesako used to be a DJ, the shop is equipped with high-quality sound equipment.

The items are neatly arranged inside the store. The white space makes the items stand out.
Antique figures that Kamisako purchased in America are also on display.
The popular clothing is highly functional and comfortable, and designed with patterns that make golf easy to play.
A wide variety of items are available, from clothing to accessories. Accentuate your golf style with unique designs.

In addition to head covers, Monsey offers a wide range of items from clothing to accessories. The clothing is stylishly designed without unnecessary decoration, and since Uesako herself has participated in competitive golf, all of the items on offer are high-performance. In recent years, they have also started selling women's clothing, and their fan base is more diverse than ever before.

In addition to that, there are plenty of accessories with colors and designs that you won't find in other golf brands, so you can pursue your own style. You will surely feel the charm of Monsey, which satisfies both golf and fashion.
