Monos proves with this sleek aluminium trunk design that it’s a worthy competitor when it comes to premium metallic luggage. While it sits firmly at the luxury end of the pricing scale, this suitcase feels like a worthwhile investment for longer trips where you need serious packing capacity – the generous 79L interior is suitable for holidays lasting up to three weeks.
Traveller contributor Toyo Odetunde has travelled with this suitcase on several flights, praising not only its refined aesthetic but also its sturdy frame and spacious interior. “Being so well designed to maximise space, this case makes the often tedious task of packing for a big getaway a little less daunting,” she says. “There’s room for everything, thoughtful compartments, and sturdy fastenings to keep my belongings in place and secured. Despite its size, the case feels lightweight, and its wheels pivot around super smoothly, making whizzing through the airport a breeze. The large clips mean I don’t have to worry about zips getting stuck, and I love how the case’s champagne-coloured, metallic sheen gives it a futuristic feel – it’s a nice contrast to the vintage vibe of trunk box styles.”
