The newest business in downtown Milford loves to make a statement, one that is evident as soon as you walk in the store. Merchandise that focuses on “local,” “Del Made,” and “19963” are the best gifts for the person on your list who is a proud Milfordian or Delawarean! They also offer some cheeky gift ideas like books titled “Yes, You Are Overthinking It” and a few others that will make you laugh.
Tea towels with funny slogans like “I’m sorry the house is a mess, I’m a s***** housekeeper,” or unique, eclectic clothing for men and women fill the brightly colored store.
The Collective opened in June of 2025, combining the skills of Ashlee Payton and Brynn Byerly. The two owned Salvaged and Willow in Lewes along with several other businesses together.
Located at 33 North Walnut Street, The Collective is open Wednesday through Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM and on Sunday from 10 AM to 2 PM.
