Compare Monos vs. July

In 2018, three lifelong childhood friends from Vancouver founded Monos, fueled by their shared love for travel and commitment to creating quality luggage without the luxury price tag. Their mission was to design luggage that embodies simplicity, functionality, and a mindful approach, making it not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible.


July, proudly born in Australia, redefines travel with its sleek, modern design and innovative features like unbreakable polycarbonate shells and ejectable power banks. Where Monos stands apart, however, is in its unwavering commitment to sustainability. While July emphasizes bold personalization, Monos crafts each piece with eco-friendly materials and ergonomic design, inviting travelers to journey with a lighter environmental footprint. This focus on sustainability and minimalist elegance has made Monos the preferred choice for those who prioritize mindfulness and refined simplicity in their travel experiences.

Leave the built-in USB charger behind

Unlike July, the Monos doesn't come with a built-in USB charger. Here’s why these battery chargers are a thing of the past:

number 1 icon

You are required to purchase and carry your own USB cable. It's more convenient to carry a portable charger that does include a cord, in a separate bag.

number two icon

Batteries begin to deteriorate and decrease in performance before 1 year. Brands should instead invest in high-quality components and materials that last a lifetime.

number 3 icon

Federal Aviation Administration and airline policies are subject to change. Airlines require the removal of the built-in USB charger before boarding for safety reasons.
