Monos opens second US store in Los Angeles

Canadian lifestyle and travel brand Monos has opened a new retail location on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, in Los Angeles.

The new store measures over 3,000 square feet and features a retail design inspired by the local contemporary design culture of LA matched with Monos’ signature clean look, with warm tactile finishes throughout. The store offers Monos’ complete collection, including luggage, travel accessories as well as additional services such as repairs and personalization.

“Los Angeles embodies so much of what Monos stands for, creativity, cultural diversity, and a deep connection to global travel,” said Victor Tam, co-founder and CEO of Monos. “In a city that celebrates artistry and individuality, we believe Monos will feel right at home.”

order to mark the store opening, Monos partnered with Sungold Ice Pops to create an exclusive matcha lemonade flavored popsicles, which was served during the store’s opening weekend on September 26. The brand also held store activations, including a complimentary Jet Lag eye patch courtesy of Summer Fridays and Alphabet Stickers with the purchase of any suitcase while supplies last.

The new LA opening marks the brand’s second US retail location, and comes weeks after the opening of Monos’ debut US store earlier this month in Boston. The LA store launch also comes ahead of additional Monos retail openings planned across the country this fall, including Chicago, New York City, and Washington DC.

“LA establishes our U.S. presence on the West Coast,” Tam adds. “For now, it adds balance to our footprint by being our only West Coast store in the country, making it an important step in our expansion journey

Launching in 2018, the certified B Corp Monos has grown rapidly over the last seven years, serving customers in 56 countries.
