Our story
Built on the belief that one great tee is enough.
Monospace was founded in 2021 in a small apartment in Bengaluru. Frustrated by wardrobes full of fast-fashion tees that pilled after three washes, our founder Priya set out to make exactly one thing well: a t-shirt worth keeping.
We spent two years sampling fabrics, adjusting fits, and arguing about collar ribbing before we shipped a single unit. The result is a shirt that most customers describe the same way — "I didn't know a tee could feel like this."
Today we offer a small, rotating range of styles and colourways. We will never have a thousand SKUs. We will never run a flash sale. We will never compromise on the cotton.
What we stand for
- Radical simplicity
- We strip away the noise — no logos, no clutter. Just well-made cotton in colours that last longer than trends.
- Honest materials
- Every tee is cut from 200 GSM combed ring-spun cotton, grown without pesticides and certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard.
- Slow production
- We manufacture in batches. No overstock, no landfill. When a drop sells out it stays sold out.
- Fair wages
- Our factory partners in Tirupur, India are audited annually. Every worker earns at least 1.5× the living wage for their region.
