CANADIAN MENSWEAR SPOTLIGHT SERIES: MONTE & COE

October 23, 2013

One of the great things about being a fixture in a growing menswear market is the unique opportunity we get to work with start up brands such as Monte & Coe.

Monte & Coe is a 100% Canadian company founded by three young Torontonians Matt Montemurro, Andrew Coelho, and Ron Scarafile. These guys had one mission in mind, to develop an everyday product that stands apart and they succeeded with their line of bags that are truly fit for 
any occasion.

Each piece is hand-made in Toronto, in limited batch sizes, to ensure that it represents an unparalleled dedication to originality and versatility. Manufacturing and designs are focused around two simple raw materials: 100% vegetable tanned leather which is an ancient method that uses tannin, a plant extract, to improve durability and provide colour which is eco-friendly and 100% chemical free and wool felt that is sourced directly from a mill in Montemurlo, Italy.

Make sure to check them out the next time you’re in our stores, or shopping online. All bags are $389
