Accessories include watches, belts, backpacks, duffel bags, and a selection of collectible vinyl toys. Starting early in 2011 you’ll also find a selection of sneaker and apparel styles from Adidas, Saucony and The Hundreds. Owner Aaron Clarke says his business is very much open to carrying local designs, “any locally made gear that has a nice, fresh design element to it,” he explains. At the moment he carries t-shirts designed by local artist Geordan Moore. Any crafty folks interested should email him at sales@freshgoods.ca.
