This place has the coolest most unique island inspired prints and you can choose whatever print is your favorite and they will put it on an apparel (they have great options that are butter soft) of your choice. My daughter has a sweatshirt that I washed like a thousand times and it remained soft and the has print that she choose has stayed on and still looks new. SO IMPRESSED!!

Beautiful prints focusing on the wildlife and geography of the area. They even let me watch as they printed a hat. They will also do custom prints (you choose the clothing in the shop and print design and then they make it for you). I’m usually bored by most print shops, but this one is for sure an exception.

I stopped in here hoping to get a t-shirt. The staff did not greet my group of four upon arrival. Even upon browsing the shirts, we were not greeted. There were only two other customers in there at the time. Very off-putting. Additionally, the shirts are around $30. That's pretty steep for an American Apparel t-shirt (usually $8-10), even with custom designs. Similar shops in Seattle run around $10-15. I would skip this place unless you are killing time waiting for a ferry.

I liked the music it was trendy and loud reminded me of a trendy resort shop. This store would do better closer to the main streets. That said it would have been nice to have a short introduction to their process, like how long, or what products were available. I was a little overwhelmed at the selection on the wall. Also as a tourist I am not sure what the connection was to orca island.

I stumbled upon this place during my travels from the north back home. A friend and I ferried to Orcas and took a shuttle into town. This store is nestled away amongst other shops just off of one of the main streets. I really enjoyed the unique designs created by the shop owner himself along with his employee. Their clothing goes beyond pandering to consumers that wants to dress themselves in icons. Their designs share a piece of the hand that creates them and viewing their selection feels more like strolling through a gallery rather than a retail store.
They use non-toxic based inks, organic
