Canvas + Clothier is a modern take on the classic department store—rooted in community, craftsmanship, and conscious design. Located in the heart of Poughkeepsie, the shop brings together thoughtfully made clothing, home goods, and everyday essentials, all with a strong emphasis on sustainability and American manufacturing.

Founded through the collaboration of two experienced retailers and designers, Canvas + Clothier was created to offer an alternative to fast fashion and disposable goods. The store highlights well-made pieces designed to last—items that reflect both practical living and timeless style. By prioritizing domestic production, the brand supports skilled makers while encouraging a more transparent and responsible approach to consumption. 

More than a place to shop, Canvas + Clothier is designed as a gathering space. With a café, multi-level retail experience, and room for workshops and events, it invites people to slow down, connect, and engage with the stories behind the products. 

At its core, Canvas + Clothier is about building community—bringing people together through shared values of quality, creativity, and conscious living, while contributing to the ongoing revitalization of downtown Poughkeepsie
