About us

Labo Mono is a design studio that makes modular bags and outdoor gear. We obsess over how things are organised, built, and reused.

Founded in 2018 in Hackney, London.

Born from a frustration: cool bags that turned into a mess the second you put anything in them.

We don't do design by committee. We don't chase seasons. Every pocket, every strap angle, every fabric choice is a deliberate decision, refined with our team and our manufacturers, every production round.

We make modular bags and gear for people who hate dumping all their stuff in one pocket. Daily commuters, photographers, travellers, creative people who move between studios, cities, and trips.

Circular by design, not by slogan

Sustainability is the structural reason our products work the way they do, not a label we slap on the front.

Modular means fewer products, swappable and with longer lives. Each product we design is carefully made. We use recycled materials where they genuinely make sense, and choose long-lasting fabrics over fragile ones, even when "fragile but recycled" would look better in marketing.

If it breaks, we'll replace or fix it with our Lifetime Warranty. If it isn't comfortable, you won't wear it. If it isn't versatile, what's the point?

Small batches. Slower growth. Better gear.

Labo Mono is built by a small, design-led team, working closely with our manufacturers.

We don't release a new collection every season. We improve the same products, production after production. We'd rather grow slowly and stay small than scale on stuff we wouldn't use ourselves.

We're not for everyone, but if you've ever spent two minutes digging through a bag looking for your keys, we're probably for you.
