Souvenir apparel programs for Toronto retailers
Drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, for the more than a thousand retail doors that reorder every season
Toronto recorded 9 million overnight visitors in 2024 who spent a record 8.8 billion dollars, with 2.7 million arriving from outside Canada. The CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium and Rogers Centre stand within two blocks of each other at the foot of downtown, and souvenir shops cluster between Union Station and the tower, around Yonge and Dundas, and in the Distillery District. Cowichan designs already sell in the city.
What sells at the foot of the tower
The skyline from the island ferry is the Toronto souvenir, and a CN Tower wordmark in embroidery is the design that separates a gift shop from a novelty stand. For the international visitor a Canada maple leaf tee does the work, and the Canada designs that lead Quebec reorders sell the same way here. The red streetcar and the raccoon are the two local jokes that work on a tee. Toronto is year round, so crewneck fleece and hoodies stay on the rack from October to April for the indoor-attraction crowd.

Questions
What Toronto buyers ask
What is the minimum order for a Toronto shop?
Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Toronto 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 Toronto take?
About 5 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 Toronto?
Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Toronto. 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.
