Ferdinand Studio and Storefront!!!

For more than 11 years, Ferdinand has been known for its ever evolving hand crafted and vintage products. It has been the outlet for the creative work of its owner, Diane Toepfer, who makes over 70% of the products on site in the studio portion of the shop. Beyond it's own products, the store sells cards made by crafters and indie businesses. Recently Diane has added a 3000 lb. letterpress to the studio portion of the shop, producing new products continually.

A personal and idiosyncratic shop, Ferdinand adapts to reflect the varied interests of its owner and to surprise and delight its loyal customers. Over the years Diane, a prolific artist and crafter, has created and offered a wide range of goods such as lampshades, t-shirts, onesies, potholders, earrings, necklaces, pillows, leg warmers, sachets, hoodies, tote bags, duffle bags, knit hats, miniature party hats, tiaras, postcards, journals, stationery sets and cards, knitted pickles with eyes, tiny palm trees, planters with winter bulbs and succulents, purses, tank tops, miniskirts, posters, collaged art prints, keychains, underpants, barrettes, lip balm, brooches, magnets, bobby pins, notepads, buttons, rings, gift tags, pinecone xmas trees, tissue cozies, eyeglass cozies, stickers, tea towels, wreaths, paper flowers, plus over 800 softhead plush toys.
