The store at 93 Bloor Street West will carry everything MCM is known for, including its heritage collection bags made with its Cognac Visetos, MCM’s heritage monogram material. MCM is also known for its brass plate insignia, found on all heritage collection bags, and most products.

According to the company, the brand appeals to the “Global Nomad generation dreamers, creatives and digital natives—MCM’s millennial audience is ageless, genderless, empowered and unconstrained by rules and boundaries.”
