Canadian travel brand Monos will open Fulton Market store

Canadian luxury luggage and travel brand Monos will be opening a store in Fulton Market, signing a 10-year lease agreement for a retail location on the ground floor of The Dylan at 160 N. Morgan.

Monos is a travel and lifestyle brand known for its exceptionally crafted luggage and travel essentials. The Canadian-founded brand launched in 2018 as an online direct-to-consumer retailer and began venturing into physical retail with pop-ups in 2022, followed by its first permanent retail location and Canadian flagship store in Vancouver in 2023.

Set to open in Spring 2025, the 2,800-square-foot store will go beyond the boundaries of a typical retail space, offering a curated food and beverage menu alongside immersive experiences designed to engage the Chicago community. The Chicago store design will incorporate an elevated material palette and luxurious finishes, creating an ethereal space that captures the essence of mindful travel.

“We are delighted that Monos has chosen The Dylan for its store, a first for this category in Fulton Market which is continually expanding and diversifying retail arrivals,” said Jess Brown, Principal, Leasing at Sterling Bay. “The speed of leasing we’ve seen across retail, residential and office is proof of the neighborhood’s continued popularity and consistent foot traffic.”

Developed in partnership with Denver-based real estate private equity firm Ascentris and CIBC Bank, Sterling Bay broke ground on The Dylan in March 2022 and delivered the property in October 2023. The 30-story, 282-unit mixed-use property stabilized in August of 2024 and is currently 97 percent leased.
