I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting to mention. This was my favorite shop for tees in Tofino. They have a large selection from West Coast Tees, a Vancouver Island printer. The prices are fair and the staff was great. The shop owner gave us a couple of recommendations for Nanaimo.

Horribly appointed store, has an odor of feces upon entering. Staffing was rude and racist."Art"…read morewas unoriginal and a few of the designs were copies of other popular works (albeit poorly executed) found at popular websites like Threadless etc, but at a much higher price. Would not recommend.

They have shirts and sweatshirts for men, women, and children including some vintage clothing. A little pricey, but it's all local made and well worth it. You can also head to their main print shop in Uculet and get custom designs in under an hour!

Just visited this store, my 2 year old daughter (who is potty training may I add) said she had to…read morepee! Most people understand that when a kid this age say they have to pee, it means NOW. I asked very politely if they could make an exception to having no public washroom for my daughter having to pee, and they answer was NO, and that I could walk to another store to use their restroom a few minutes away. Within about 25 seconds, my daughter peed her pants. Thanks a lot DNA for not having common sense to make an exception now and again for kids. My daughter peed her pants due to your lack of common sense and compassion. Will not return.

But it's a great little store with an incredible variety of fashion. They carry Fluevog shoes, semi casual dresses, feminine night wear, pretty affordable silver jewelry. What really stands out though is their service. Even when the store is busy & there's only one person working, you will be acknowledged and looked after. They have an amazing policy for holding items. They impressed me anyways because I asked them to hold shoes that were on sale. Normally, stores will give you grief about such a request. But they held the item for a few days for me. I gave 4 stars rather than 5 only because the store is small so limited in stock. They actually deserve a 4 1/5

Great selection of local gift ideas, prints, candles, smellies, stickers, accessories.read more
