Souvenir apparel programs for Tadoussac retailers

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

Tadoussac sits where the Saguenay Fjord meets the St. Lawrence estuary, and the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park it gateways recorded 1,179,828 visits in fiscal 2025-26. Global News reported as many as 200,000 people a year come for the whale watching. The shops sit in a compact strip along Rue du Bord-de-l'Eau between the wharf and the red-roofed Hotel Tadoussac, and most open only from May to October.


What sells between the wharf and the hotel

Beluga, blue whale, humpback, the fjord and the hotel's red roof. Our Whale Tail is the design New Brunswick shops reorder most, and it localizes to Tadoussac with French lettering and the beluga, which visitors here came specifically to see. The fjord makes a wordmark of its own. Evenings on the estuary are cold in July, and the buyer has just spent three hours on a zodiac, so crewneck fleece and hoodies outsell tees on this strip.

Getting stock to the Cote-Nord

Ground courier from Vancouver reaches Tadoussac in about 7 business days, so the spring order ships in April to be on the shelf when the whale operators start in May, and a July top-up carries August and September. Reorders go through your rep. Stock should sell through by mid October when the strip closes.

Questions

What Tadoussac buyers ask

What is the minimum order for a Tadoussac shop?

Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Tadoussac 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 Tadoussac take?

About 7 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 Tadoussac?

Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Tadoussac. 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.
