WILLIAMSBURG — CANADIAN TRAVEL BRAND Monos has partnered with Brooklyn Coachworks, the Williamsburg automotive studio known for restoring vintage Land Rover Defenders, to create a custom Arles Blue Defender 90 and matching luggage collection. 

The collaboration includes a North America-wide contest, offering the restored Defender, airfare, hotel stay, and a full Arles Blue luggage set, which drew over 1.2 million entries.

The Defender features a mohair soft top, saddle-tan Italian leather interior and Monos detailing. Monos’ limited-edition Arles Blue Collection mirrors the vehicle’s color palette, using recycled materials and premium finishes, and is available through the brand’s online and retail stores.
