About us
Sometimes, life offers a moment of clarity —
a quiet shift in perspective that changes everything.
For us, that moment questioned what style should stand for.
Fashion without thought felt empty.
Style without conscience felt dated.
So Monkstory was born —
to prove that premium design, craftsmanship, and comfort
can co-exist with compassion.
We craft footwear and accessories that look luxurious, feel incredible,
and leave zero room for cruelty.
Handmade. Thoughtfully designed. Consciously produced.
Because fashion evolves — and so should its values.
How We Started
Monkstory began in 2016, when Nilesh Jain and Abhinandan Jain decided fashion needed a new direction — one where style, comfort, and conscience could exist together. We weren’t industry veterans; we were curious friends who questioned everything we grew up seeing in footwear: leather, waste, shortcuts, and the idea that luxury must come at a cost to animals or the planet.
What started as a small experiment became a calling. We worked with artisans, tested materials, rejected anything that didn’t feel right, and kept pushing until we could create footwear that felt luxurious, looked global, and stayed cruelty-free at the core.
No big factories, no ready playbook — just passion, learning, unlearning, and a belief that India is ready for mindful style. Monkstory wasn’t built in a boardroom — it grew one idea, one product, and one believer at a time. And today, we’re still evolving — guided by intention, curiosity, and you.
"We didn’t start Monkstory to follow fashion.
We started it to change what fashion stands for."
India, It’s Your Time
We always believed India wasn’t short on fashion sense —
only access to mindful luxury.
Now every modern man can step into
world-class style, uncompromised quality,
and a conscience that remains spotless.
The Monk’s Story
Before the Monk awakened, he was just like everyone else —
consuming without questioning, choosing convenience over care.
Until one day, a spark — a moment, a thought, a realisation.
Legend says a translucent whisper of nature
opened his eyes to past, present, and possibility.
Two futures stood before him:
🌿 one where Earth and Life thrives
🌫️ and one drowning in its own neglect
His choice? Unknown.
But ours — and yours — still awaits.
Every step we take moves us closer to the world we choose.
Are you ready to walk with intention?
