The Clover Collection marks the brand’s venture into vintage-inspired product design

Shoppe Clover, a rising name in Toronto’s design scene, has officially launched its first-ever product line. Fittingly titled The Clover Collection, this line draws inspiration from vintage aesthetics while celebrating the natural beauty of materials often found in vintage decor. Designed in-house and meticulously handcrafted, each piece showcases the unique variations of onyx, alabaster and travertine sourced from Pakistan—a destination renowned for its rich reserves of high-quality natural stone. Each piece in the Clover Collection speaks to this heritage, with intricate veining and organic patterns that make every item a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

The collection includes a variety of functional yet artful home accents that deliver quality and ~aesthetic~ appeal. Here are our favourites:

At the heart of the Clover Collection is the Bubble Vessel, a versatile piece made from green onyx or alabaster. Its sleek, sculptural design allows it to function as a vase, bottle chiller, or utensil holder—blending practicality with modern artistry. Hand-carved and polished, the high-quality nature of this piece and its timeless purpose make it an heirloom treasure in the making.

Lastly, the Bubble Candle Holders complete the Clover Collection, using remnant materials from the larger vessels to create polished, elegant lighting accents. Crafted from luxurious alabaster, these candle holders captivate with their sculptural form, featuring smooth, spherical shapes that allow light to play beautifully through the stone’s translucent texture, creating a trickling, ethereal glow.

Okay, but it clearly is

For the first 16 years of my life, the bat cave at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)—a reconstruction of an actual cave in Jamaica—was among my favourite places in the city. The cave was decorated with cast stalactites and wax bat models, which hung from the ceiling and threw jagged shadows on the walls. A few other features imbued it with spooky verisimilitude: the drip-drip-drip sound effects, the mirrors arranged to create the illusion of infinite depth, the strobe lights strategically placed to make the shadows flutter. When I visited as a five-year-old, the bat cave scared me. When I visited as a stoned fifteen-year-old, it scared me even more. Then came the renovation.
