Shop the new Monos x Magnolia Bakery spring collection

Last week, Monos released a collaboration with Magnolia Bakery, featuring two special spring colors inspired by the famous NYC bakery's most popular desserts. There is a pastel yellow inspired by Magnolia Bakery's beloved banana pudding. The collection also includes a lavender colorway inspired by Magnolia's purple icing and cupcakes.

You can get all of your Monos favorites, including carry-ons, check-ins and bags in these fun spring colors, just in time for spring-break vacation travel. We love Monos luggage because of its durability and high-quality vegan-friendly materials. Every Monos suitcase comes with a lifetime limited warranty, and Monos bags come with a two-year limited warranty, so you can be confident that your purchase will last.

You can shop the Monos x Magnolia Bakery collection now. Prices range from $80 to $435. Use code "BIRTHDAY" to save on the new collection.
