Thank you so much everyone for all of your orders!

Thank you so much everyone for all of your orders!!! 🙏🏻 I'm afraid that I am going to have to set an earlier deadline than previously thought for EDCLV, I am still a one woman show and it seems like I will be spending a lot of time this season in the armory to forge all of these armor orders!!! ⚒️🗡

Don't forget to indicate the event or date that you will need your items by! Certain items may still be purchased after our April 18th deadline (such as smaller accessories and masks), feel free to message me to see if I can accommodate you.

Thank you everyone once again! Here's to festival season starting up! Let's do this thing! 👊🏻💥

With everything going on in the news and sudden in

With everything going on in the news and sudden influx of orders, yesterday had me feeling a little run down. Sometimes I just don't want to even even look at my phone anymore.

And then, out of the blue, this lovely lady here messages me. A few years ago, she commissioned a winged piece inspired by Mercy from Overwatch to wear at @dreamstateusa. It was one of the most challenges builds that I have ever taken on at the time. It needed to be somewhat lightweight, collapsible in order to be easily transportable and most importantly, hold up while she dances and shuffles across the dance floor. This design commission came out a success and is still a favorite in the shop today!

Even though this commission was years ago, she wanted to tell me that working with my shop was one of the best experiences that she has had while working with a small artist/business and to give her sincerest thanks for providing such a service.

Her message was all I needed to instantly bring a smile to my face and turn my entire day around. Making someone happy with my art pieces is what truly gives me passion. It was just the thing that I needed to remind me why I started this crazy endeavor in the first place and why despite the struggles, this dream is worth chasing. ☺️

As they say, if your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough. Thank you for challenging me artistically with your commission and for your enduring motivation, support, and love, all these years @bomb_chelles! 💞

Social butterfly spotted during last weekend’s @mitis show at @themidwaysf! How perfectly cute and stylish is this outfit that @zomgsteph paired with our white butterfly face mask? 🦋🤍

ROLL CAAALL!!! Who here is going to dance under the electric sky at EDC Las Vegas next month?? 🌼 It was the announcement many of us have been waiting for and @pasqualerotella sure knows how to keeps all of us in suspense! 😅

In honor of yesterday's announcement, here's a flashback of @lifeinthefast.lena wearing our Shelly bra with our matching LED Chroma Skirt at EDCLV a few years ago! And here's to looking forward to more festivals to come and making up for all the dance opportunities we missed out on last year! 💃🏻🕺

My husband is a goofball. He has also been my goof

My husband is a goofball. He has also been my goofball for 18 years, today. 🥰
.
How did I meet this guy? Well, he was this nerdy guy in high school...like really nerdy. 🤓 Honestly, he was just really weird, but he kept hanging around me. And I let him. And then I just decided to give him a chance. What could go wrong?
.
Nothing really went wrong. Well, we had the usual hiccups most couples probably go through. We started growing up together. Going through life's usual problems together. We supported each other in every way possible. And we had fun while at it. A lot of fun! Still having fun! I cannot imagine a life without him. Somehow it feels like we're still high schoolers that haven't left the puppy love stage. Sending me messages throughout the day that he loves me and taking me out on dates. Being trapped at home and doing nothing during quarantine was still entertaining just cuddling up on the couch and watching our favorite shows. He introduced me into his world of anime, and I shared my love of DC and Marvel comic book stories with him. Everyday is an adventure with him.
.
Here's to 3 years married, 18 years together today, and forever tomorrow.
.
I love you, my sweet funny hunny. You may be shorter than me, but you're the biggest thing in my heart. Happy anniversary, Dale.❤️

Heartbroken over the surge of attacks against the

Heartbroken over the surge of attacks against the Asian American Community and still reeling over the recent shootings of 10 victims last Tuesday in Atlanta. 8 innocent victims were killed. 6 victims were Asian American women. And 4 of those victims were Korean women like myself. 💔
.
Here in the bay area, multiple attacks and harassments are still happening every day and many go unreported. Despite all of the escalating violence and the harassment experienced by my husband and myself, we found that many of our friends are actually surprised that this is happening. And yes, living in a densely populated city means that these experiences happen frequently and we have to continue taking caution while outside. I made my husband promise me to never take public transportation to and from work. Two weeks ago, I was followed by a man after leaving my home and luckily managed to outsprint him. I still leave work before sunset in order to escort my elder Chinese friend home. We still cover our faces. We arm ourselves with pepper spray, defense rings, and knives. I don't know if it's enough..
.
There are not enough words to fully describe what it feels like as an Asian American during these times. We are angry, devastated, and tired of feeling helpless. Please check in on your Asian American friends and family. Participate in meaningful and educational conversations even if they are uncomfortable. Donate to organizations that are working to keep our communities safe. This will take all of our efforts to uplift, inspire, and love one another.
.
In the meantime, please drop a ❤️ below if you will stand with your Asian American and Pacific Islander brothers, sisters, friends and family. We need your support and solidarity now more than ever. 🙏🏻

🍀Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!🍀We're happy to

🍀Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!🍀We're happy to announce that we’re going green in more ways than one💚! In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, we're using some new textiles for all of our designs. What's the difference? This ✨NEW Chrome✨ still has amazing color-shifting and texture, but also uses less plastics than our original Chrome. We love our original Chrome. It has carried us through these years and it will always have a place in our heart, but we at Chrome Monarchy🦋, as well as the world, must continue investing in our future and that means taking care of our little 🌎 blue planet.
.
Featuring the awesome holographic color-shifting🌈 you expect from us, this particular Chrome has geometric patterns throughout to reflect light in all directions. In this picture is the 🐲Dragonscale colorway, but it will also be available in FIVE different colors! And like our original Chrome, it is laminated in-house so you can always rely on that bespoke touch.👌🏻
.
We will still keep our original Chrome in very limited availability for those that have a soft spot for it, but we should all do our part in taking care of the only home we have. We're working hard to update all of our products with this new Chrome so keep checking back on its release date! •Shop Link in Bio!•

Our NEW mask, the 🔥 Firewall, made its debut ea

Our NEW mask, the 🔥 Firewall, made its debut earlier this week! I've always had a thing for 👩‍💻 cyberpunk inspired designs (like our Circuit Breaker 🦾 & Electra outfit ⚡️). So I put some ideas together and several inspirations, such as 🤖 Transformers, Sub-Zero, Tron, and watching my husband play many hours of Cyberpunk 2077. Going off those, I thought it would be cool to create a 3D mask that was both futuristic and fashionable.
.
Featuring the same amazing quality you've come to know from us, such as breathable double knit fabric, several layers, and a pocket for a PM2.5 filter, this mask also uses a new kind of holographic foil that is super stretchy! Also for this design, we decided to create even more 👀 eye popping contrast by using two different colors of foil to bring out all the details.
.
Available in both black and white! And we are also testing the waters on another amazing holographic foil we've come across. It's definitely a color that has been on everyone's radar for some time now in the world of fashion. Stay tuned for that foil's release on ALL of our mask designs! Check out our shop link in our bio!

It goes without saying too much that people in 🏥 healthcare are receiving a lot of attention nowadays. Not that they deserved less, but they've certainly been in the spotlight ✨ for many months now.

Pictured here is @_xlivingdeadgirlx looking so lovely in our signature Butterfly Mask 🦋! Much love ❤️ to her today and forever for doing what she does best while on the front lines. We hope you've been showered with thanks from everyone around you. 💕

Remember to keep wearing your 😷 masks, everyone! We know many people are getting fatigued doing their part, but it's all so we can sooner overcome this battle!

I immigrated to the U.S. from South Korea when I w

I immigrated to the U.S. from South Korea when I was just 2 years old and one of my first memories growing up was back in Kindergarten and our class had a day celebrating Korean culture. Our teacher just adopted a little girl from Korea and asked my mother to be a guest for the class. My classmates enjoyed looking at art, enjoyed traditional Korean food and admired my hanbok dress. It was one of my favorite childhood memories. ❤️

Fast forward today, where the Covid-19 pandemic has fueled blame and violent crimes against Asians for the "China Virus." The attacks became so frequent that President Joe Biden signed an executive order against Anti-Asian hate crimes.

Whether you're Asian or not, you have most likely heard about the increasing violence among Asian elders recently. And not just Asian elders, but Asian Americans in general. Both my husband and I have been harassed throughout the pandemic when we walk the San Francisco neighborhoods that we've lived in for a decade now.

I fear for the lives of my elderly parents, family, friends and my husband. I voluntarily escort another seamstress home after work because she's elderly and Chinese. For my own safety, I conceal my eyes so that no one can see that I am Asian whenever I go outside by myself.

Since today is also World Social Justice Day, I am encouraging everyone (Asian or not) to share and raise awareness to these crimes as well as resources for volunteering, donating, and educating. As an Korean/Filipina owned business, Chrome Monarchy 🦋 stands with the Asian Community and we will continue to use our platform to support ending discrimination and racism in all forms. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Wonderful resource plan by artist, @kimsaira & @Annie_Wu_22
