Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia

Souvenir apparel programs for Peggy's Cove retailers

Drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, for the more than a thousand retail doors that reorder every season

The Province of Nova Scotia says the village of about 40 residents receives 700,000 visitors in a typical year, most of them between 10 am and 4 pm when the tour buses arrive. Nearly every Halifax cruise shore excursion stops here. A handful of shops sit on Peggys Point Road, anchored by the restaurant and gift shop beside the lighthouse, and most close from November to April.


What sells beside the lighthouse

Peggy's Point Lighthouse is one of the most photographed buildings in Canada and it is the design: a lighthouse wordmark in embroidery, localized with the Peggy's Cove name and the granite shore, outsells everything else on the road. Lobster, a fishing boat and a seagull fill the second tier. The visitor arrives on a bus with forty minutes, and the wind off the Atlantic sells crewneck fleece in August.

  • Lobster and fishing boat designs on tees and caps for the bus crowd

Questions

What Peggy's Cove buyers ask

What is the minimum order for a Peggy's Cove shop?

Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Peggy's Cove 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 Peggy's Cove take?

About 6 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 Peggy's Cove?

Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Peggy's Cove. 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.
