As it gets colder outside and we’re busy finding ways to stay cozy, externally with beautiful layers, internally with warming cocktails, it is the perfect moment to look back at what we’ve done and where we’ve been. Reflecting on those special moments of the past 12 months. Reconnecting to the people we’ve met, the ideas we’ve made, the thousands and thousands of clients we served, dressed, and styled.

It is the season of hosting and holiday parties. If you’re looking for something delicious to serve, we have a suite of signature cocktails that will go down a treat.

As we near the years’ end, enjoying the last rays of sun reflecting off the high-rises of Toronto and the canals of Amsterdam, taking short hikes in the countryside, spending afternoons on park benches trying to grasp the autumn colors, we are sliding slowly but surely into a more festive mood. Celebrating another year of hard work and milestones met, many we couldn’t have done without the people around us.

We've been on the hunt for a local partner that could bring something fresh to our Toronto store opening. It didn’t take long before we stumbled upon Southbrook Organic Vineyards – a small family-run winemaker focused on earth-friendly farming.

As we put the last hand on our new Toronto flagship store, seeing everything come together in one beautiful space, the result of a neatly planned operation that started over 10 months ago – I’ve been thinking about what it means to ‘return to work’.

Store lead and style advisor for our flagship store, Bastiaan, walks us through a recent buying trip to Milan and the inspiration discovered there.

This summer sees one of our more delicious collaborations: two new wines curated by sommelier Simo Zbiri and made by independent winery Domaine de la Tucayne.

With its fresh, virgin mornings with a newspaper and espresso on an empty terrace, the endless strolls through unknown and humid cities, the late night parties on hillsides overseeing the sleeping bay, the wonderful encounters with art, culture, old friends and new ones; summer is here.

The first issue of The AM Times. Not so much a milestone, but rather a stepping stone. A stepping stone to explore our love for character. Born out of a need to tell more stories, share deep dives, and explore the boundaries of what we’re doing at Atelier Munro. Capturing the people we work with, the products we make, the places we visit, and the planet we love.
