The gift shop in the front also had a somewhat limited selection compared to the massive stores by the port, but they still have nice items. I stopped in and picked up a beautiful Skagway waterglobe.

Just heard that Skagway Alaska is one of four counties in the USA with no covid 19 cases, and by…read morefar the most populated of the four counties. Visited Skagway before the pandemic, and one place we stopped was Corrington Alaska Ivory. Combination of a gift shop store, with a small museum in the back. The store has all sorts of artifacts, trinkets, and ivory carvings for sale. Museum exhibits show the history of Alaska. Natives hunting the wooly mammoth 30,000 years ago. A mammoth tusk, with carvings of 14 mammoths and 31 hunters for sale for $52,500. That would make up for the thousands of free loading tourists fresh off the half dozen monster cruise ships visiting the museum daily in the past. History of Alaska illustrated in the museum. Painting of all the various animals in the landscape of Alaska, Russian rule from 1783-1867, purchase of Alaska, whale hunting by boat, settlement by gold rush travelers 1831-1921, and the Iditarod race held annually, with a sled and associated artifacts. Some of the ivory collection from extinct and endangered species such as the mammoth and pacific walrus. Why no covid 19 cases in Skagway? It's completely cut off from the outside. The coronavirus halted cruise ship sailings, and no way to reach Skagway by land from the rest of Alaska, as borders closed at the Yukon, Canada, rendering the tourist as the most recent endangered species.

Many beautiful custom items you won't find anywhere else. So many items sold at most of the Tourists shops have printed on them 'Alaska", but when you check carefully...they are made in China! It was nice to see and buy items made IN Alaska! We bought several beautiful hand turned pens made by Ron Hinson. These pens are all unique, we've never seen anything similar to the, before. They are lovely and ,are wonderful gifts. I only wish we had bought several more!! BTW: Their fudge is a delight. Highly recommend this unique store!

The range is impressive--metalwork, woodcraft, resin pieces, and even mammoth ivory--all thoughtfully displayed in a calm and inviting space. Even though I didn't make a purchase, it was clear that every piece carried both craftsmanship and local character. At the heart of the shop is Cheryl, who brings in authentic pieces so visitors can take home something meaningful from their stay. Her warmth and genuine connection to the community make the experience even more memorable. It's a store that reflects both artistry and a sense of place, well worth a visit.

The Store * Upscale local art and a selection of exclusive Alaska-themed quality goods. There was no poorly manufactured, forgettable merchandise here. The Experience * Staff were helpful and persuasive. The woman who helped us had a good sense of humor, was direct, and did not mess around. The slight markup on the limited-edition blanket was tempered by its scarcity. It's not available online. The Verdict: * If you have cash to burn, this is a worthwhile stop.

My hobbies compel me to sniff out fabric and yarn stores because the promise of a creation is always taunting me. Can I make something cool with a bit of this and a dash of that? Of course! Enter Changing Threads/Uncommon Threads/Rushin' Tailor (three businesses, one name). Like any good quilt store, the cottons are piled high with bolt upon bolt promising a thrill and a chill for anyone with a wish and a dream. My waxing poetic aside, the choice and sales were good--for Alaska. I picked up some Raven Frog Fiber Arts (based in Sitka, AK) roving to spin. The store was busy, but each employee had their job down to a science. Can't do better than that. Accessibility notes: Shop can get crowded. Narrow aisles for customers with mobility devices. No braille signage.

There's a very nice selection of locally dyed yarn, all of it pretty reasonably priced for luxury goods in a tourist town. I was on a mission for qiviut during my Alaska vacation, but instead fell in love with a beautiful wool/silk/yak blend... had a lovely chat with the dyer, too. Nice to know I'm supporting a local artisan with my tourism dollars. There was also a fun selection of buttons & notions & the like. Drop in & browse for a bit before you have to get back on the boat!
