When Lino Catalino – owner of Le Trunkshop – faced a crossroad in his career, he chose the road to reinvention and opened his clothing shop in May 2014 on a dime. Before that he was a fashion designer for over 20 years in L.A. Now he’s moved from wholesale designing to the retail side of things where his know-how lets women strut the runway of their life in affordable style.
“Because I have so much experience in the actual designing of clothes, I know what to look for when I’m buying my collections for my store. In fact, I’m actually a curator because I understand what makes a woman look great.”
To our delight, the ephemeral Trunk Shop is no longer a temporary spot on Mont-Royal Street - this shop has recently become a permanent address and we appreciate it greatly. Le Trunk Shop is brought to us by designer Lino Catalano, who offers his own line of the same name, plus a ton of great finds. It is the ideal place to recreate a style that is both current and retro in Plateau Mont-Royal.
