Welcome to Mondo The Label, your new go-to for elegant, timeless and natural modest fashion. Mondo was founded on the principles of mindfulness and duty towards our environment, our communities and our creator.

Our Goal

Mondo was created with a simple goal in mind - to provide women with quality, natural, and versatile modest clothing at competitive prices.
Women around the world choose to dress modestly for a variety of reasons, be it religious practice, style preference, or skin sensitivity related. Whatever your reason may be, Mondo can meet your criteria for comfortable and stylish modest clothing.

Our Values

Founded with Islamic principles in mind, Mondo takes a strong stance against unsustainable market practices like mass-production and overconsumption.
Sustainability cannot be claimed or achieved by cutting corners, and protecting our planet and the health of communities is a pillar of our brand. That is why we focus on the use of natural and biodegradable fabrics and try our best to limit the use of plastic-based materials in our pieces.

What We Bring to the Table

Many mainstream brands focus on quantity over quality and prioritize profits over people. At Mondo, we prioritize quality materials and original designs, and we’re committed to meeting what we know the modest fashion space needs - stylish, high-quality clothing at competitive prices.

Our Founder: 

Salam!

My name is Lauren Iaccino, and I am the founder and director of Mondo the Label. I converted to Islam in 2016, and in 2021, I had the honour of embracing the hijab.

My journey with modesty has been one of discovery and personal growth. It took me a while to find clothing that truly reflected my style and personality without making my body shape or size the main focus.

On this journey, I developed a deep appreciation for clothes that are unique, timeless, and made from quality materials. However, as I navigated the world of modest fashion, I realized that there was a gap in the market for high-quality, well-tailored pieces that balanced both modesty and individuality.

In early 2024, I decided to take matters into my own hands, and Mondo the Label was born. Inspired by traditions and silhouettes from around the world, my goal is to offer modest, original pieces that are not only stylish but also made with sustainable, biodegradable fabrics.

Every garment in our collection is a reflection of my own vision, designed with intention, and crafted by award-winning tailors and manufacturers who share my commitment to quality and standards of ethical production.

As a small, Muslim-woman owned business, your support is invaluable. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and for helping me bring these designs to life!
