You make cool stuff. We help you sell it.

The Proper Collective is more than just a shop, it’s a curated community of Tucson’s best makers, creators, artists, and oddball geniuses (in the best way). Whether you're slinging small-batch soaps, hand-tooled leather goods, pottery, candles, or pickled jalapeños with a wild twist, this is your space to shine. Located in the heart of downtown Tucson at the corner of 5th & Congress.
