Japanese no-brand retailer under Ryohin Keikaku, selling minimalist, low-priced basics in natural fabrics alongside homeware, stationery and food.
Why it's similar. Ryohin Keikaku's Muji applies the same pared-back, no-logo design language to travel goods that Monos does, at the low prices its no-brand positioning implies.
Vancouver bag label known for the Little America backpack and striped-lining duffels, with a range spanning luggage, apparel and headwear.
Why it's similar. Herschel Supply is Monos' Vancouver neighbour, covering duffels, backpacks and soft luggage with striped linings rather than the polycarbonate shells Monos specialises in.

Swiss-branded, licensee-built travel gear known for padded laptop backpacks, ScanSmart carry-ons and spinner luggage sold at mass retail.
American bag maker founded in 1989, known for customisable messenger bags, backpacks and durable, utilitarian urban-cycling design.
