Edmonton, Alberta
Souvenir apparel programs for Edmonton retailers
Drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, for the more than a thousand retail doors that reorder every season
Statistics Canada counted just under 7 million domestic visits to the Edmonton and Area tourism region in 2024, with the third quarter the busiest. Visitor retail splits between the independent shops on Whyte Avenue in Old Strathcona and the volume that moves through West Edmonton Mall and the airport. Edmonton is also the road gateway to Jasper, so a share of its souvenir buyers are on their way to the mountains.
What sells on Whyte Avenue
Edmonton's icons are the river valley, bison at Elk Island, the festivals and the Oilers, and the souvenir rack needs an Edmonton wordmark first and Alberta wildlife second. Our artists localize bison, elk and grizzly designs with the Edmonton name and the legislature dome, and the Jasper-bound traffic takes the same mountain designs that lead Alberta reorders. Winter is long and the city stays busy through it, so applique hoodies and crewneck fleece are year-round stock, not a seasonal add.
- Edmonton wordmark and river valley embroidery
- Bison and elk designs for the Elk Island and Fort Edmonton traffic

Questions
What Edmonton buyers ask
What is the minimum order for a Edmonton shop?
Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Edmonton shop usually opens with a few designs on tees and adds fleece and caps once the season shows what sells.
How long does shipping to Edmonton take?
About 2 business days by ground courier from Vancouver. Orders leave our Vancouver floor once the run is stitched, and reorders go out on the schedule your rep sets with you.
Can the designs say Edmonton?
Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Edmonton. Designs are drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, and namedrops are included with the program at no art charge.
How do reorders work?
Through your rep, sized to your season. Reorders run on a standing schedule from the Vancouver floor so a hot colour never leaves a hole in the wall.
