Asheville Merchandise Guide
All the wearable merch in Asheville in one place.
We love a souvenir T-shirt
So much so that we were inspired to create this guide, first published in May 2023. We’ll be updating it a few times a year, and we encourage you to check in with the businesses listed in the guide about availability. Often merch sells out quickly or is a limited edition.
While these items aren’t strictly secondhand, we love supporting local businesses and know firsthand how lovely it is to hold on to a memory of a special place you visited on a trip.
If you know of some merch we’re missing or have feedback or questions, fill out the form below to let us know!

We are excited to share that XP League Asheville will have its GRAND OPENING on August 19th where all registrations will receive a Founding Member discount = for life. We plan to have Food Trucks, free chair massages for the parents, and fun activities for kids too young to play on the gaming laptops!
Games we play include Fortnite, Minecraft (bed-wars), Rocket League, Valorant, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, and League of Legends.
A few years ago the founders of this NC based franchise recognized that online video game environments could be extremely toxic, so they created a league where kids ages 7-17 could join a team and play in person against other youth teams across the country while enjoying a safe environment, PCA certified coach-led sessions, and receive training on how to play with a positive mindset.
Please scroll down to the calendar on this website to book the session that you want to attend:

Isabelle Ambrose launched in 2016, with Marci getting her start making jewelry while she and her family lived on Scenic Highway 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. Following their move to Highlands, NC, Marci draws her inspiration from the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains and the Emerald Coast of Florida. Focusing on semi-precious stones, pearls and other high-quality materials, each beautiful piece is designed to bring the wearer joy, confidence and inspiration!

From the regional crafters to local guide artisans, set up on the river banks of the Nantahala. Come and meet these vendors and more on the second Saturday of every month, May – September.

Each Southern Bungalow candle is hand-poured in a reusable statement piece container using an organic and clean-burning coconut wax. Coconut wax is odorless until scented with cosmetic-grade fragrances and essential oils. Each fragrance is carefully curated and inspired by nature, my love of travel, and my fondest memories of growing up in the South. Southern Bungalow Co. was created from a love for fragrances and all things beautiful for the home.
