Eleventy makes its home just beside the bustling sidewalks of Bloor Street, where flocks of fashionable Torontonians bounce from one swanky boutique to the next. Like the city skyline, Toronto’s top retail district seems to add new shapes on a daily basis; Bloor Street’s latest addition, however, is one for the books. Gracing the street with a sleek new storefront, Eleventy brings “smart luxury” to Toronto.
“We designed this space not just as a store, but as a destination. We already have many clients who call Toronto home, and when we look to open new doors, we always start by identifying where our clients live and spend their time,” says Marco Baldassari, Eleventy Co-Founder & Creative Director. “We go where our clients are — and Toronto was a natural next step.”
Client comfort seems to colour every corner of the 3,500 square-foot store; there’s a dedicated room for shoes, a spacious lounge, and even a semi-private living room, outfitted with a Wrensilva sound system. Venture further, and you’ll find the crown jewel of the client experience: a dedicated hospitality suite. Conceived as a venue for connection, the space is well-stocked with light fare and refreshments. Thanks to a partnership with chef Roberto Marotta, Eleventy will even serve Italian-inspired bites on the weekends. Coupled with other playful pops — including a custom Eleventy Teckell 90 Minuto Chalk Matte foosball table — the hospitality suite offers a truly immersive experience.
Calling his partners “instrumental” in bringing Eleventy to Canada, Baldassari says the new boutique represents more than a retail expansion. “We view this store as a complement to the strong relationships we’ve cultivated over the years. This space is not only a new home for Eleventy, it’s a home for our partners and their clients as well,” says the Eleventy co-founder. “It’s an extension of the retail experience and friendship we’ve created together.”
Inside Eleventy, interior design and apparel share a vision. Here, natural materials bestow a sense of timelessness onto modern designs. The palette is earthy and inviting: light cascades through large windows, casting a warm glow across the open-concept space. Shaped by clean lines and high ceilings, creativity fills the air. Meanwhile, light oak furnishings, travertine finishes, and brushed stainless steel underscore the label’s down-to-earth elegance.
“Toronto is a cultural and economic leader in North America,” Baldassari adds. “We see it as a perfect match for our brand values of smart luxury, eternal design, and warm hospitality.” Curated for community building, the new Eleventy store gives Toronto a warm welcome.
