From a retro arcade game to souvenir gifts, our store is a must stop and top thing to do in New Haven, Connecticut. Strange Ways built its foundation as an online shop—becoming one of the best top web destinations for patches, pins, unique gifts, and homegoods from independent designers, artists, and small brands. We ship out hundreds of items to people all over the world every week who appreciate our strange product offering. By opening up what is essentially our headquarters to the public, fans really immerse themselves in our world of self-expression. We can present product in ways that allow for a richer experience, hold in-store events, offer on-site patch application, and customers love being able to browse all their favorite items from online in-person.
