ABOUT MONOS

Monos is a Canadian-based, sustainability-focused travel and lifestyle brand, offering premium luggage and travel essentials at accessible prices. Inspired by the Japanese concept of mono no aware, the profound appreciation of beauty in fleeting moments, we emphasize the joy of the journey.
We’re proud to be the first North American luggage brand to achieve certified B Corporation® status. This certification represents more than a seal of approval, it’s a testament to our belief that thoughtful design can coexist with social and environmental consciousness. Through our partnership with veritree, we’ve planted nearly 1.3 million trees across two forests in Kenya – offsetting 412,335 metric tons of CO₂. Beyond reforestation, this collaboration creates hundreds of living-wage jobs in local communities, nurturing both the environment and the people who call these places home.
At Monos, our retail experience blends thoughtful hospitality with a deep passion for our products, creating a warm, educational, and pressure-free environment. We go beyond just selling products by focusing on quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability, ensuring every interaction is meaningful and aligned with our brand values, where customers feel valued and informed.
We pride ourselves on fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. We’re proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s Most Admired Cultures and a Great Place to Work.
With big plans for the future – including purpose-driven product launches, new brick-and-mortar retail locations, and establishing ourselves as leaders in the travel industry – we’re looking for passionate, skilled, and driven individuals to join our team.
