Reviews mention

  • Sleek, minimalist aesthetics
  • Smooth, quiet wheels
  • Thoughtful interior organization
  • Lightweight, spacious construction
  • Easily scuffed outer shell
  • Fragile shell cracking risk
  • Sticking telescopic handles
  • Finicky latches and locks

Monos earns polarized reviews: praised for sleek, lightweight designs, smooth wheels, smart organization (compression panels, front laptop pocket), and distinctive colors, yet criticized for fragile shells that scuff, dent, and crack, finicky or sticking telescopic handles, and inconsistent customer service and warranty experiences. Reviews indicate the luggage can work well—rolling smoothly and packing efficiently for frequent travel—but durability of the outer shell and hardware issues, plus slow responses, are recurring drawbacks to weigh before buying.

  • Looks sturdy and very nice looking. I like that it locks with no zippers. We are planning to travel to Europe next month & that's the reason for this purchase. I also have the packing cubes ordered too.

  • Love the inside capacity and quality. Of course the first trip it came out of baggage claim all dirty and scuffed but most came off with a wet cloth and the magic eraser! Beautiful color!

    Ok, I haven't actually used the packing cubes, but I love the look and quality of them. I can see how this is going to make packing an easier process. I need all the space I can get.

  • I ordered 2 monos carry-on plus suitcases in middle of Dec. 2022. One is Terrazzo and one is midnight black. After i recieved those suitcases - for the midnight black suitcase, when i got it the tape on the bottom of the deliver box has been opened already. The suitcase bag was not fully sealed, looks like someone already opened it . There were touch marks showing on the suitcase as well, the handle feels a little lose and i don't hear the lock sound when push all the way down compare with the Terrazzo suitcase that i recieved at the same time. Am not sure what happened, I have never had this experience before. Now am worried, i hope i didn't get the suitcase might be from somone's returning? If I paid over $250 for a suitcase, I prefer to recieve a brand new and well packed one. Therefore, I contacted monos customer service though emails to ask for solutions. Never get respond. And then I called their customer phone number, left message, never get respond. However, i keep recieve a survy email from mono ask me to rate their luggage and service. It sounds like a joke. It has been over 10 days, I still haven't hear Single word from mono. Their customer service is really bad base on my experience. I have no idea what I can do at this point. Monos customer Email address I sent : [email protected] ; [email protected] *No live chat available, it will direct you to the hello email address.

    The suitcase looks fine. I haven't have chance to use. But the customer service is really bad. They never respond to you. Makes you feel hopeless. I have never had experience like this with any other brand. Make sure you can hold them before you purchase monos products, otherwise, something goes wrong, you are on your own both waste money and time.

  • I ordered and paid for a case early Nov 2022 Iv received nothing as yet - they don’t reply to my emails This is a FAKE company

    Don’t order and waste your money

  • Have traveled long distance twice with a Monos travel pro carry-on. The luggage is well designed both exteriorly and interiorly, and easy to maneuver in the terminal and on board. Two relatively minor issues: the flat surfaced outer shell mars easily and the zipper tabs of the outer computer compartment may be difficult to grasp.

  • This luggage is absolute garbage! We have used our luggage only once and it is completely destroyed (see pictures below). Monos advertises that their product is made of the highest quality material which is far from true. They also stated that the luggage cannot be returned because it considered used after only traveling with it one time. How in the world would you know if the luggage can easily be damaged if you cannot travel with it. The return policy is a total scam and this is a typical "bait and switch" scenario where its advertised as a high quality product only to see it ruined after one use! DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT! You have been warned!

  • I love having everything so organized and easy to find. They are quality made with lots of areas to put stuff. Best I have seen, and I've been looking for years.

    Very good quality

  • Very impressed with quality and variety of sizes.

  • Travel from Calgary to St Louis with the Carry-on Plus, Both planes were smaller United Airlines planes and the Carry-on Plus fit perfectly (it was very close on the second smaller plane, some other folks had to use the carry-on posits at the front of the plane, but my carry-on, plus fit perfectly in the overhead. No room to spare but perfect fit). I was travelling for business, and as such needed 3 executive woman's outfits so I had two pairs of heels, one blazer, two dressy cardigans, three pairs of dress pants, one travel day comfy long sleeved top and a pair of jeans, one long t-shirt for pj's, underwear and toiletries bags (one makeup and one shampoo and liquids bag). I still had room for maybe another t-shirt or two! This is a really great bag. Other reviews have spoken about the scuffing, but I have not experienced that yet I did get the Terrazzo pattern which I believe will do quite a good job of hiding some of the wear longer term, although I am one of those people who does not mind I well traveled bag to look well traveled. Ultimately, I chose a Monos bag over the others because I really believe in their story, and what they stand for, and the reviews were good. I can now confirm this is a really well designed thoughtful bag and I'm glad I took a leap and bought the large and medium check-ins as well! Happy traveller! Thank you Monos.

  • So far everything about the case seems great, lightweight, great rollers and handle, extremely well made.

    Case seems sturdy and well made

  • I have taken a couple of trips with this carry-on and it has worked out well. Its light weight and I have been able to get a lot into it. It fit the overhead compartment on the couple of planes I have been on. I have also checked it and it held up well. (There we a couple of scuff marks that cleaned off with a damp cloth) Overall I have been pretty happy.

    Very nice carry on

  • I absolutely love my Monos check-in medium case. The color is so subtle and beautiful. The wheels glide effortlessly. My recent airline trip was easy breezy. Highly recommend this brand of cases for travel.

  • This is the perfect carry on. I was able to maneuver through the airport with ease. I'm so happy I chose Monos for my travel needs.

    Love it

  • I love my metro duffle. I was able to pack lots of items in my bag and it fit perfectly under the airline seat. Great area for my laptop as well. My husband was so impressed with my bag, he is going to purchase one for himself. Don't hesitate to purchase this duffle as well as the Monos suitcases for all of your travel needs. I am a very happy Monos customer.
