We are really excited to introduce to you Monte & Coe,  the latest addition to our store and our accessories department. 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. A line of bags that is suitable for 
any occasion and durable for any setting, all the while capturing an aesthetic balance, both appealing to men and women.

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.

We The three styles we will be carrying are the Savile, Bond and Westpoint which all retail at $429.00

Savile Row is a street in central London known for its traditional men’s bespoke
tailoring and is named after Lady Dorothy Savile, wife of the 3rd Earl of
Burlington. The term “bespoke” is understood to have originated in Savile Row
when cloth for a suit was said to “be spoken for” by individual customers.

We recently had the pleasure of being inducted into Amex Canada’s #ShopSmall campaign and are so excited to hear about their latest initiative. Amex Canada is looking for Toronto’s Neighbourhood Gem to help celebrate the importance of shopping small and shopping local. 

Gotstyle has been dedicated to the Toronto landscape for over 8 years. So much so, that in 2004 we were one of the only men’s only boutiques in Canada. We saw a need within the men’s market and forged forward to meet that need. Our amazing relationship with our community allowed us to be the first to launch Skype shopping in Canada, expand with a brand new store in the Distillery District, and do fun things like the Naked Man campaign and now video game. Oh, did we mention that we’ve been working on launching an online store? Shhh…lets keep that one between us.

Bottom line is that none of this would’ve been possible if not for the incredible support of our community. And with any small business having and active community is so crucial to our success, which is why we really admire the #ShopSmall initiative by Amex Canada and hope that you will take a few mins to vote for your favorite Toronto Neighbourhood Gem.

The first round of voting takes place April 2 – 21 & every time you vote, up to once a day, you have the chance to win a $50 American Express® Gift Card
