Monos Metro Duffel Unboxing & First Impressions

[@tantradossantos4501]

I have the older version with 5 magnets for the folio. I was thinking about getting the new version, but after watching you struggle with it I will stick with the version I have. I took it on a recent multi-destination trip as my personal item along with a carry-on. It fit under the seats of multiple airlines easily and held a lot of stuff (including 3 pairs of shoes and my liquids bag). Since I worry about spills and dirt when traveling I appreciated the nylon/leather exterior. It even held up in a tropical rainstorm. Despite some very minor complaints, I like this bag a lot. Note that the folio needs to be detached when placing under an airline seat, but will fit beside the bag for takeoff.

Thank you I appreciate the info! Nice to know it can hold so much and is waterproof. I recently went to my local Nordstrom and played around with the older version with the magnets. I really liked how quickly and easily it snapped on and off. I'm definitely considering ordering the older nylon version before they're all gone.

I also thank you as I have the same and hope to use it in January and I had no idea I’d have to take the folio off!! Cheers

I purchased this identical one lol I also thought it would be the colour of your carpet lol I also have the back pack in same colour and a carryon but I’ve never used it yet and also I considered the black but I do love it! Oh and the belt bag I bought too!! Cheers and love from Canada 🇨🇦

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one who was surprised by the color 😂 Monos is definitely on point with the quality and design of these bags though, can’t wait to use mine as well 😍 cheers!

How is the vegan leather holding up against scratches?

I have the older version of this bag. It’s beautiful but I find it SO heavy even by itself. I only take it when I know I’m going to have something to set it on like a carry on luggage.

I really want to buy the backpack in this colour! How is it holding up for you? Has it scuffed at all or picked up dirt from being on the floor, general wear and tear? Would love to know!

Is it greyish or more beige? How do you feel it will hold up to scratches

[@JessicusMaxiumus]

Did you keep it?? 😅

[@muse.x.califia]

I did end up gifting this bag to a friend. I took it on two solo trips and as a commenter said below, it gets heavy once full. Not practical for a shorty like me. I’d recommend using it sitting on a rolling luggage vs carrying by itself. As for scuffs and marks, they showed up pretty easily but I was able to buff it out. It also barely fit under the airplane seat laying sideways. For me it would make more sense to take this bag on a car trip than plane. 😅
