When people first discover love, Pittsburgh shop, they often come in searching for a simple souvenir. Maybe a magnet, a postcard, or something that says “Pittsburgh” to remember their visit.
But what they quickly realize is that our shop is much more than a souvenir shop.
At love, Pittsburgh, everything we carry is designed or created by Pittsburgh artists and makers. Instead of mass-produced souvenirs, you’ll find thoughtfully made products created by the talented small businesses and creative entrepreneurs who call this city home.
A Gift Shop Built Around Pittsburgh's Creative Community
When co-owners, Monica and Kelly, opened the first shop in 2017, the vision was simple: create a place where visitors and locals could discover the incredible talent coming out of Pittsburgh.
What began with about 40 local artists and makers has grown into a collection representing over 100 Pittsburgh-based creators. Today, every product you see in our stores or online shop, from candles and art prints to jewelry, stationery, and food items, comes from a local artist or small business in the Pittsburgh region.
That means when you shop here, you’re not just buying a gift. You’re supporting Pittsburgh’s creative economy and the people who make this city special.
Souvenirs that Tell a Story
Traditional souvenir shops often sell items made far away. At love, Pittsburgh, our goal is the opposite. We believe the best Pittsburgh souvenirs should actually come from Pittsburgh and reveal what makes our city unique.
Many visitors come in looking for something small, maybe a magnet or a postcard, but leave with something more meaningful. It might be handcrafted earrings, small-batch coffee roasted locally, hand-poured candles, or artwork inspired by the city’s neighborhoods and skyline.
Every item has a story, because every item was created by someone from this community. Plus, after walking around our stores, you’ll quickly learn a few things about Pittsburgh: we really love pierogies, pickles, and bridges. And yes, we might be just a little bit nebby. (But that’s only because we’re friendly!)
Take Home a Piece of Pittsburgh
If you’re visiting the city and looking for unique Pittsburgh souvenirs, we’d love to welcome you.
Because when you shop at love, Pittsburgh, you’re taking home something better than a souvenir. You’re taking home a piece of Pittsburgh, made by Pittsburgh.

Because at the end of the day, love, Pittsburgh isn’t just about selling gifts. It’s about celebrating the creativity, entrepreneurship, and community spirit that make this city so special.
