Monandol
Made-to-order gym wear designed for longevity.
Monandol is a direct-to-consumer apparel company specializing in made-to-order gym wear. The company, operating under the business name Kyler, was founded by Min Hyeong-gi. Monandol controls its entire production process, from design and pattern-making to final production, in its own workshop. This in-house approach allows for meticulous quality control and product adjustments.
The business model is centered on on-demand production, meaning garments are manufactured only after an order is placed. This strategy eliminates the need for large inventories and avoids the pressure of holding clearance sales to offload unsold stock. A key feature of their service is the ability for customers to request custom sleeve and inseam lengths for their garments.
Monandol serves fitness-conscious consumers in the Korean market. To provide a realistic representation of fit, the company uses Korean amateur athletes and fitness trainers as models, rather than professional models whose body types may not reflect the average customer's. The company also emphasizes sustainability by using eco-friendly packaging, such as biodegradable plastics and tapeless boxes, and by creating durable, timeless designs to minimize clothing waste.
