Monk Story offers a variety of range of products with footwear being its main focus. Currently, the product range it caters comprises of shoes, dress, office, casual and running, and messenger and travel bags.
Journey of Monk Story
Monk Story was launched in June 2016 by two school friends, Nilesh Jain and Abhinandan Jain, with the objective to sell alternative to leather as well as providing the best designer shoes at affordable prices. “To our brand, every customer is considered a monk as he has chosen a step forward towards saving the animals. So when a customer buys our products he becomes a monk. So before Monk Story, non-leather shoes or vegan shoes felt just like a compromise. No other vegan brand could deliver designer products and, moreover, the designs were so outdated that an 18-30-year old would never wear them. We wanted to change the market. We wanted vegan to become a cool thing in India, hence there is a sense of quirkiness in every aspect of the brand from brand name to the logo to the product design. We have been growing at a constant pace year after year in this massively growing market,” explains Abhinandan Jain
