The Trends Trunk Show Spring 2025, hosted on June 12 at The Collective Workspace in Toronto, was a premier design event thoughtfully organized to inspire, educate, and connect the architecture and interior design community. This spring edition focused on fostering exclusive networking opportunities and provided an unparalleled platform for over 25 vendors to showcase their newest collections and product trends.
Cloth Hall participated in the show last week, sharing the latest designs from our 18 brand partners. Known for our curated selection of artisanal fabrics and wallpapers, with an emphasis on small-batch, independent makers, Cloth Hall gave attendees a chance to discover unique materials that elevate both residential and commercial design projects.
Our presence highlighted the growing demand for distinctive, story-driven design resources in the Canadian market, and gave us an opportunity to connect with existing clients and make new connections with the local design community.

Supporting a Cause
A notable aspect of the event was its commitment to philanthropy. All proceeds from the general admission tickets were donated to the Canadian Children’s Art Foundation, supporting their mission to make the arts more accessible and inspiring for children across Canada. This initiative underscored the design community's dedication to fostering creativity in the next generation.
Looking Ahead
The Trends Trunk Show continues to be a cornerstone event for design professionals in Toronto. It not only showcases the latest trends but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration among industry peers.
Cloth Hall remains a proud contributor to this momentum, with ongoing participation in design events across Canada that celebrate innovation, artistry, and connection within the design community.
