Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
Souvenir apparel programs for Sault Ste. Marie retailers
Drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, for the more than a thousand retail doors that reorder every season
Sault Ste. Marie sits on the St. Marys River between Lake Superior and Lake Huron, across the International Bridge from Michigan, and Great Lakes cruise ships dock at the waterfront pavilion. The Agawa Canyon Tour Train leaves from the downtown station beside Station Mall and runs from August to mid October, with the fall colour weeks selling out first. The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre reported more than 55,000 visitors in 2025, over a third from outside the city.
What sells beside the train station
The Agawa Canyon train, the bushplane, a freighter in the locks, Lake Superior and the Group of Seven who painted it, plus the moose. The train is the design: an Agawa Canyon wordmark in embroidery with the canyon trestle sells to a passenger who has just spent a day on it. Our artists localize the moose and the lake for the Station Mall shops, and the bushplane makes a design for the Canal District. The peak is August to mid October, which is cooler than most Ontario peaks, so fleece and applique hoodies carry more of the rack than tees.

Questions
What Sault Ste. Marie buyers ask
What is the minimum order for a Sault Ste. Marie shop?
Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Sault Ste. Marie 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 Sault Ste. Marie 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 Sault Ste. Marie?
Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Sault Ste. Marie. 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.
