Vancouver-based travel essentials company Monos has unveiled a vibrant new partnership, joining forces with the colourful Los Angeles fashion brand SIMONMILLER. The collaboration results in a bold, 20-piece luggage collection designed to inject playfulness and high style into travel.
A Fusion of Fashion and Function
The newly released Monos x SIMONMILLER collection features a range of travel items in bright hues and stripes. The lineup includes everything from small accessories to large luggage pieces, catering to various travel needs. Key items from the collection include:
- A playful banana-shaped bag charm priced at $40.
- A set of four packing cubes for $135.
- The signature Hybrid Trunk Large, retailing for $615.
According to Victor Tam, CEO and co-founder of Monos, the partnership with the LA-based lifestyle brand was a perfect match to bring a sense of fun to the travel category.
Expressive Design and Strategic Partnerships
"This collection is expressive and fun, and the vibrant colours are a reflection of that," Tam stated, highlighting the bold green and blue tones used in the designs. He described the collaboration as "nostalgic and ageless, kitschy and elegant," noting that it "lives at the delicate crossroad of ostentatious and luxurious, but thrives by never losing its self-awareness."
Tam believes the final product is "something truly unique and undeniably, effortlessly cool." This is not the first time the Canadian suitcase company has teamed up with notable names. Monos has a history of collaborations with brands like New York's Magnolia Bakery and celebrities such as actor Adrien Brody.
For Tam, these partnerships allow Monos to "narrow in on aspects of the brand that might typically be an undercurrent and instead make them the focus." He added, "Partnering with a brand like SIMONMILLER is a privilege because it allows us to connect with our audience in a fresh new way and continue to redefine what it means to be a travel brand."
Availability and Pricing
The complete Monos x SIMONMILLER collection is available for purchase directly through Monos.com. Prices for the items in the 20-piece release range from $40 to $615, offering options for different budgets. The collection launched in early December 2025, marking a stylish new option for travellers seeking to make a statement.
