Winnipeg, Manitoba
Souvenir apparel programs for Winnipeg retailers
Drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, for the more than a thousand retail doors that reorder every season
Winnipeg sits where the Red and Assiniboine rivers meet, and The Forks at that junction is the city's main visitor market and retail hub. Statistics Canada counted 3.1 million domestic visits to the Winnipeg tourism region in 2024, with the fourth quarter the busiest. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the Assiniboine Park Zoo's Journey to Churchill polar bear exhibit are the two attractions most often paired with a souvenir purchase.
What sells at The Forks
The polar bear is Manitoba's animal and it sells in Winnipeg as well as in Churchill, so our wildlife polar bear and bison designs localize to the Winnipeg name for the zoo and museum crowd. The Forks and the Esplanade Riel bridge make the skyline wordmark. Winter is the point here: Festival du Voyageur in February and the river skating trail mean applique hoodies and fleece are the core of the program, with summer tees for Folklorama and the Folk Festival.

Questions
What Winnipeg buyers ask
What is the minimum order for a Winnipeg shop?
Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Winnipeg 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 Winnipeg take?
About 3 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 Winnipeg?
Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Winnipeg. 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.
