Why We Make Things to Order
A thoughtful way to offer more choice, stay local, and make things with care
Pure Muskoka is a small, independent Canadian company, based right here in Muskoka.
We don’t operate out of massive warehouses.
We don’t produce thousands of units in advance and hope they sell. And we don’t separate the work from the people who care about it.
Instead, many of our products are made to order, by design.
What “Made to Order” Means at Pure Muskoka
When you place an order for a made-to-order item, it’s created specifically for you.
Your order is printed, finished, checked, and packed by our team before it leaves Muskoka.
Typically, most made-to-order items ship within 3–5 business days.
It’s not pulled from a distant warehouse. It’s prepared here, by us.
This is the work before the work.
Screens are built, inks are prepped, and details are dialed in before a single garment is printed.
Why We Work This Way
This approach allows us to do a few important things that matter to us, and to our customers.
More Choice Without Overproduction
Making items to order allows us to offer more colours, more sizes, and more designs without having to overproduce inventory. It’s the only way a small company like ours can give real choice without waste.
Work That Stays Close to Home
Our products are finished and shipped from Muskoka, by people who live here and care about what they’re sending out into the world. When you order from us, it’s not just a transaction, it’s a direct connection.
A Hands-On Process
Because we’re involved at every step, we’re able to check quality, fix issues quickly, and make sure what leaves our space is something we’re proud to put our name on.

What to Expect When You Order
Making things to order means your item may take a few days to ship — typically within 3–5 business days.
What you receive is something that was made for you, handled with care, and sent directly from our shop in Muskoka.
Designed, printed, and finished in Canada.
From Our Hands to Yours
Pure Muskoka has always been personal.
The photos we share. The stories we tell. The products we make.
Making many of our items to order allows us to stay small, stay connected, and stay true to how we work — while offering you more choice than we could otherwise manage.
Thanks for supporting a Canadian company that still does things this way.
