How would you describe your business, in one sentence?

(We offer) handpicked and handcrafted quality goods, including leather, jewellery, art, clothing and ceramics.

What's a recent trend in your business that you're excited about?

Excited about offering up quality Fernie- and Coal Town-specific swag.

What is your favourite product or service that you offer, and why?

If Coal Town Goods had a super power, what would it be?

That a shop so small could have such a huge heart.
