Vancouver Gift Guide: Vancouver T-Shirts

Comments 1 by Rebecca Bollwitt

I’m pretty sure that when I’m traveling you are able to tell where I’m from with just one look. My usual wardrobe consists of a Vancouver Whitecaps FC t-shirt, a local craft brewery hoodie, or my Ole Originals “VAN” shirt. If you also want to show everyone that you love where you’re from, here are some places to get some great local t-shirts:

    I was so happy to see The Hive as #1! Rebekah & Norbert were our work neighbours for awhile and they are the greatest! So generous, so hard-working and create so many beautiful products.
