JS History

A VANCOUVER ORIGINAL! Conceived and born here in 1985, we moved to Granville Island in 1990. Hundreds of customers a year tell us they have never seen a store like ours anywhere else .

INTERACTIVE AND CREATIVE We make our product right now, right in front of you…. And you get to help! We employ the latest in embroidery technology and highly experienced staff and have an enormous library of stock designs. This makes it possible for you to create your own unique design and have it embroidered on our garment or yours, all in the time it takes you to get your groceries or wander through the shops and studios.

FASCINATING TO WATCH. We entertain and amaze for free! Our machines are right in the window. Their speed and precision executing this ancient and beautiful craft never fail to wow the crowds.

AN INNOVATOR IN BRINGING LOCAL ARTISTS' WORK TO PUBLIC. We were the first in B.C. to commission local native artists to create designs for embroidery and present them to the public.

Justin Stitches is an integral part of the boating community, just as the Island is a favoured destination for boaters. Our comprehensive library of yacht club logos and year round stock of great quality sportswear has ensured our popularity with cruisers and racers alike.

A FAVORITE WITH LOCALS AND VISITORS ALIKE! To add to our long list of loyal Vancouver customers is a growing number of former visitors to the Island who contact us from all over the world to buy our products and use our services.

ONE OF A KIND -Often imitated but never matched. Our dedication to original designs, top quality Canadian made garments along with fast and friendly service, has ensured we thrive while others come and go.
