History

Joe Mimran and Alfred Sung founded Club Monaco in Toronto in 1985. The brand gained recognition for its strict black-and-white color scheme and minimalist store designs. In 1999, Ralph Lauren Corporation acquired the company, facilitating its international expansion. Club Monaco influenced the 1990s minimalist movement by providing accessible, structured basics. In 2021, the brand was sold to the private equity firm Regent LP, marking a shift in its corporate ownership history.
