A lot goes into making an exceptional suitcase. Our luggage, accessories, bags, and apparel are designed at our studio in Vancouver, Canada, where we focus on thoughtful, high-quality, and sustainable design. We work closely with our factory partners, ensuring that every Monos product meets our exacting standards while upholding ethical and environmental responsibility.
A commitment to ethical and sustainable manufacturing
Monos is proud to be a Certified B Corporation (B Corp)—a designation that means we meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact. To become B Corp certified, companies must undergo a rigorous assessment that evaluates their performance in five key areas: governance, workers, customers, community, and environment. This certification holds us accountable for making business decisions that prioritize people and the planet—not just profit.
As part of this commitment, we maintain an SA8000 Certification, which ensures compliance with internationally recognized labor standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and ILO conventions. Our Modern Slavery Statement further reinforces our dedication to ethical manufacturing, safe working conditions, and fair wages across our supply chain.
Built to last, designed for sustainability
Our suitcases are crafted with durability and longevity in mind. We use a virtually unbreakable aerospace-grade polycarbonate hard shell, ensuring resilience in even the toughest travel conditions. Each suitcase undergoes a 40-test quality assessment, guaranteeing exceptional performance.
We are also committed to reducing waste and using eco-friendly materials wherever possible. Unlike many brands that use toxic, non-recyclable PVC, we choose compostable and environmentally safer TPE gaskets along the suitcase and spine. Our high-performance wheels are designed and manufactured in-house, ensuring smooth, long-lasting travel. Additionally, our manufacturing partners implement sustainable practices, such as collecting and reusing parts and plastics for other industries.
Continuous improvement for a better future
Sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s an ongoing journey. As a B Corp, we regularly assess and improve our impact to ensure that we continue to make a positive difference. We frequently visit and collaborate with our partners to explore innovative materials, production efficiencies, and new ways to make our products even more sustainable.
By choosing Monos, you’re not just investing in a premium suitcase—you’re supporting a brand that prioritizes ethical craftsmanship, responsible business practices, and a more sustainable future for travel.
