Just launched, men’s retail app Shop Bonsai features editorial from Hong Kong, including news on Japanese bicycle company Tokyobike.
Shop Bonsai is Canada’s first mobile retail marketplace curated for men, launched by a Toronto startup. It describes its offering as a “markedly anti-retail approach” to shopping.
With the app initially available only for iOS smartphones, Shop Bonsai claims to be the first editorial-driven retailer. Its app is designed to integrate house-created content within a seamless retail shopping experience. Users have daily style updates from international influencers and photographers in Canada, the US and Hong Kong, and featuring brands such as Bang and Olufsen, Shwood, Kollar Clothing and Get Fresh Company.
To mark its launch, Bonsai will host a three-day celebration of art, culture and style in Toronto with an interactive design exhibit made from stacked shipping containers.
