Year-Long Pop-Up Stores : Monte & Coe

Monte & Coe’s inaugural retail presence in Toronto’s Distillery District marks a strategic evolution for the Canadian luxury brand. The year-long pop-up is housed in a repurposed container and will surely take advantage of the foot traffic in this tourist-friendly yet design-conscious neighborhood.

As Monte & Coe transitions from e-commerce to a community-oriented shopping experience, the pop-up showcases the brand’s ethos of locally crafted, ethically produced goods — ranging from leather accessories to homewares. The new Bucket Bag and customizable travel accessories, for example, are sure to pique interest. Monte & Coe is offering complimentary monogramming services, which cater to a growing preference among luxury shoppers seeking unique, meaningful purchases.

Andrew Coelho, co-founder of Monte & Coe, shared about the retail venture: “Ten years ago, we launched Monte & Coe with a crowdfunding campaign and a vision to redefine Canadian-made luxury. After shipping thousands of orders around the world, this retail space marks a full-circle moment — an opportunity to reconnect with our roots, celebrate our community, and create something special right here at home.”
