Monos seems to have snagged Oscar winner Adrien Brody to be the face of its new aluminum collection. The travel and lifestyle brand taps in the actor, who won the Best Actor Award at the 2025 Academy for his role as a Holocaust survivor in ‘The Brutalist,’ to star in the ads for the hard-shell luggage line.
In this new campaign, Brody travels through the landscape in Tangier, Morocco, with his aluminum collection. Mexico City-based filmmaker and photographer Alexis Gomez chronicled Brody’s travels through the city as he meets villagers, absorbs the sounds and explores its historic sights.
“Growing up in New York- a city fully of diversity and unexpected encounters- ignited a thirst for adventure,” Brody said. “I often find myself on location in different places while working on films, which is exciting; I love to explore, to travel, to get lost and find my way. Travelling reminds me that borders are irrelevant, no matter how different cultures or people may seem, we’re all just people living our unique stories.
Victor Tam, the co-founder of Monos revealed that Brady perfectly reflects the brand’s values of ‘authenticity and timeless style. His unique perspective and undeniable charm make him the ideal ambassador for our brand. His influence and deep connection with his audience will not only elevate the collection but also deepen the Monos experience, creating a lasting impact on our community.”

The new campaign is slated on run on Mono’s social channels as well as out-of-home and digital marketing globally. Monos aluminum collection is available in four styles: Carry-on Plus ($665), Check-In Medium ($725), Check-in Large ($755) and a Trunk ($775), all in three colorways: black, golf, or silver.
Each piece has been reinforced with riveted aluminum corner guards, TSA-accepted combination latch locks, a telescopic trolley handle, soft release side handle, ergonomic bottom grab handle and 360-degree spinning wheels. The interior features a new quilted taffeta lining in black, embossed with the brand’s signature dot pattern.
Crafted from anodized and electroplated aluminum with a refined brushed finish, its hard shell is designed to withstand the demands of travel and evolve with every journey.
Every element of the Aluminum Collection is meticulously crafted, from branded metal details to finely etched hinges and latches. The collection will be made available as from Monday on the company’s eCommerce site and at its stores in Toronto and Vancouver.
