Where Heritage Meets High Design, From the Road to Your Carry-On
Monos doesn’t just make luggage—they transform the journey itself. Every piece is designed to elevate travel, turning each leg of the trip into a statement of style and craft.
Now the Canadian travel house is taking that philosophy from the concourse to the open road, teaming with Brooklyn Coachworks for a collaboration that reads like a GQ fever dream: a custom Land Rover Defender 90 dipped in the sultry, old-school Arles Blue.
Brooklyn Coachworks is the New York outfit collectors whisper about—the kind of atelier that can coax new life out of a vintage Land Rover while keeping every rivet true to the original. Together with Monos, they’ve created a Defender that’s as ready for a Catskills fire road as it is for a valet stand in SoHo. The black mohair soft-top sets off the high-gloss paint, while a saddle-tan Italian leather cabin feels more Milan lounge than mud run. Underneath, a fully rebuilt TD5 engine and five-speed gearbox give it the grunt to back up the look. Subtle Monos touches—embroidered seats, custom metal plates—make the truck a one-off statement of craft and wanderlust.
The Arles Blue Collection
That same deep blue now runs through Monos’ limited-edition Arles Blue Collection, a lineup of its signature polycarbonate spinners reimagined with a sleek, high-gloss finish. Every case carries aerospace-grade shells, TSA-approved latch locks, and whisper-quiet wheels—hardware built to rack up miles without a scuff. The range drops September 15, 2025, exclusively at ca.monos.com and Monos’ Toronto and Vancouver flagships, with prices from $335 CAD for the Carry-On to $475 CAD for the Check-In Large.
Win the Ultimate Road Trip
To seal the deal, Monos is putting the keys where their mouth is. One winner will score the custom Defender 90, plus round-trip airfare and a two-night stay in New York City, and the entire Arles Blue luggage set. It’s the kind of prize that makes you check your passport twice.
The Giveaway runs from Sept 15 2025 – Nov 27 2025. Eligibility is limited to US and Canadian residents, excluding Alaska, Hawaii, Rhode Island and Quebec.
This is travel gear for those who see the road as a runway. Heritage, horsepower, and high design—ready to carry you from New York to absolutely anywhere.
