About HOTELMOTEL

HOTELMOTEL is a Montreal brand making unisex leather sneakers, totes and wallets. Everything is handmade in its studio on rue Meilleur, in the north of the city. The designs are clean and simple, meant to work for anyone and to last through daily use.

It suits people who prefer fewer, better-made things, and who like knowing where and how their shoes and bags are made. A leather wallet or tote is a thoughtful gift for a partner, a graduate or someone starting a new job. Sneakers are a good fit for Montreal's spring and fall, when the sidewalks are dry and walking the city is a pleasure.
