 Hans Josef - Founder

 

How we got started

My name is Hans Josef. I am an ambitious self-described nerd and folk musician, with a love for fantasy fiction and medieval history. I founded Blackwood Emporium in the beautiful province of Alberta, Canada, after I realized how much of a struggle it was to find intricate fantasy-like and Medieval-inspired items, apparel, and instruments. I decided that I needed to start a store specifically dedicated to fantastical historical products, to fill the gap in the market for items with a uniquely rustic, and truly ancient feel.

 

What we offer

When you shop with us, we want you to experience a warm and rustic feeling from the moment you set your eyes on a product, until the moment you make your purchase. We are here to deliver quality products to your door, with the highest quality customer service and attentiveness to your needs, not just as a buyer, but as a unique individual. We understand what it's like to try and find a product that's right for you in a world with such an over-saturated global market. We are here to stand out and to deliver to you what you can't find online elsewhere, and what you certainly cannot find at any of your local stores. Our products are distinctive, and tailored for the outsider. We source and create quality products that are perfect for those who think outside the box, and who enjoy owning quality items that stand out from everything else. We love making statements, and we hate following trends. Let us help you to do the same!
