Design and usability
Crafted from aerospace-grade polycarbonate, the Monos Cabin Luggage is ultra durable and virtually unbreakable, and can withstand tough travel conditions. The telescopic handle is sturdy and secure, unlike many wobbly handles found on market competitors. Whisper-quiet, 360° spinner wheels allow for smooth transport to and from each destination. The interior is crafted with antimicrobial lining, clever pockets, and a compression pad, enabling organization of travel essentials, and easing the packing and unpacking process along the way.

Affordability
While Monos lands at a higher price point than competitor brands including Away or BEIS, its price corresponds directly to its quality, and the brand’s lifetime warranty on luggage will save money over time. Further, at a significantly lower cost than luxury brands such as RIMOWA or TUMI, Monos offers the consumer an accessible entry point to premium travel essentials.
Designed for every traveller
The Monos Cabin Luggage comes in various sizing options – including the Carry-On, Carry-On Plus, Carry-On Pro, and Carry-On Pro Plus, each catering to different travel needs and lengths of time.
Designed to last a lifetime
No suitcase is meant to look brand new forever, but Monos suitcases are easy to maintain as they acquire air miles. Each piece of luggage comes with a specialized scuff eraser to keep the shell in great condition over time. A damp cloth and mild soap are recommended for a general clean after long journeys, and a soft cloth can help brush out any dust or dirt from the interior.
When not in use, Monos luggage can be kept in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, and for extra protection may be stored within the muslin bag in which it was originally delivered.
Parting thoughts
The Monos Cabin Luggage is an exemplary blend of thoughtful design and practical durability, making it a top contender in the cabin luggage category. It's the premier choice for the traveller who values quality, purpose, and aesthetic. As a brand, Monos stands by its products, offering lifetime warranties on luggage, replacement parts, and dedicated customer service. The Canadian-based company is committed to protecting the environment as much as possible, being the first luggage brand to be Climate Neutral Certified, and additionally, a member of 1% for the Planet. If you consider yourself a conscious traveller, look no further for your journey essentials than Monos.
