primitive designs

Intriguing place. Something for everyone. From jewelry to model ships to tribal muscal instruments...this place is a must see. Room by room you will be enthralled by each piece available. I love this place and go every chance I get.

Really love the items there. I usually backpack for my travel, couldn't bring home much.. this shop makes me feel like I could buy those souvenirs right here in Canada. I love the designs, spending hours looking even in a cold winter.. they were having a pre-christmas sales!

I live very close to Primitive Designs, my home is filled with the wonderful stuff they sell. Great deals and great staff.

We were driving around and came across this interesting unusual place. We walked around it for hours. There is so much to see. A place for every type of person.

My wife and I had been before, and couldn't wait to go back. Told my father about it, and took him and his girlfriend with us. Great day as usual at Primitive Designs. Although not much had changed since the last time we had been there, it didn't matter because this time around we got to see what we had missed. Plus it was a bonus to see their reaction to all the amazing products and unique items. If you are looking for a nice day out and visual adventure, this is your place. We will be back!!!

My first time in this store was a couple of weeks ago and I will go back any chance I get ! This store has unique home decor, jewelry, clothing and furniture. Everywhere you turn there is something spectacular to look at. The staff was very friendly and obviously have amazing taste! We live 8 hours north of Port Hope, but it is well worth the trek because this store is one of a kind. I can't say enough about this wonderful store and all of the gems it holds

I was here 2 years ago, while in Port Hope I stopped in again. It's a must a see place. A lot of different and unique things. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Stopped in here and was totally floored by what they have. I liked the thatched roof gazebos and if I had the place for one it would be there. A Far East flavour runs thru the store with Buddhas,sarongs,sandals and many carvings conjuring up a land far away with mystical roots. The staff was very helpful and courteous. A must see for people travelling by.

I was in the area (camping) and I had the chance to visit this wonderful store.If you like unique items, this is the place. They have ; clothes, jewelry, leather shoes (sandals) Tiki Bars, huge statue, vases, lamp fixtures, frames, signs, gazebos, wooden sculptures, ....and so much more that they gather from all over the world. There is also a huge Transformers outside .... WOW ! and some more inside the store (Bumblebee, Optimus).The staff is very friendly and will gladly help you.The store was also a feature on Space Chanel (tv). It's worth to see if you are in the area.Good shopping!

Very unique store with a wide variety of arts and craft items. Pictures, clothes, jewelry, Buddhas, garden fixtures, Tiki rooms and much more. Just so much to see and most items very reasonably priced. HUGE Transformer statues were fascinating for everyone.

Stopped here by chance on the way to the cottage. We arrived an hour behind schedule due to our sheer fascination and amazement. We were greeted by a life sized, realistic Optimus Prime made out of old car parts. Inside they had all sorts of unique items from around the world from wooden musical instruments, paintings, statues and carvings. We spent an hour browsing and saw maybe a third of the inventory. If you are ever in the area this is a must visit. This store is a once in a lifetime experience.

We discovered this place a few years ago when we were looking for somewhere where we could obtain supplies for making our own palapa/tikibar.What can I say. Gather things you see and can purchase here are obtained from all over the world.Teak furniture that is amazing, chairs, completed bar sets, statues, etc etc etcYou must go for a visit but be prepared to spend money, we buy so,me thing every time we go.Truly an amazing experience. The staff are incredible as we'llOut front they have transformers( bumblebee, Optimus prime) the kids love them.

Great place to stop and shop. Let your imagination run wild, they have something for everyone. From clothes, jewelry to furniture and outdoor bars etc. You will not be disappointed. Make the drive to Port Hope.

We go with the whole family. There are awesome life size sculptures of Transformers and Star Wars characters that are loved by my young son. My teen buys great clothes and jewellry that is reasonably priced and my husband and I love the home decor. The most unique furniture and home accesories anywhere. We have bought Christmas and birthday presents here.

Fantastic eclectic selection of items you never knew you HAD to have. My garden is bedecked with metal birds and a stone sink. Gifts have gone as far south as Charleston SC. I'm pining for a fancy metal fence section. The wooden furniture is exquisite and handmade. Ok, now I need to go out there again.
