Club Monaco is an upscale clothing retailer with more than 80 stores in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates. The brand alternates between less formal styles during the northern spring and summer and more formal offerings during autumn and winter.
In 1985, Canadian Joe Mimram opened the first store in Toronto. The first US store opened in 1989. It is now owned and operated by Polo Ralph Lauren, which acquired Club Monaco in 1999. Polo has largely allowed Club Monaco to exist as an independent entity within the group and does not publicize its ownership of the brand.
Luxottica distributes Club Monaco frames in Retail outlets beginning in 2007.
