We have been friends for many years and enjoyed doing creative things together. How more appropriate than for two Calgary raised girls to make buckles in cowboy territory.
We started with pressed flowers and rocks from our gardens and slowly incorporated beads, crystals and metals into our designs. Then we started creating our own graphic designs and combining all of our techniques together. We upcycle pieces of jewellery or broken heirlooms into a wearable art piece. Every buckle is unique and we try to make something for everyone.
Our goal as artists is to continue creating original designs and adding a little fun to the style of those who wear our buckles. All we hope is that our buckles will make you smile and want to wear them.
We have no formal design or artistic training, we are educated in criminology and oil and gas. We are self taught and have learned a great deal over the years about the process of buckle making. It is just the two of us that make the buckles and we both do it in our homes.
Our buckles range in price between $15 and $70, and the snap belts are $15 for kids and $25-$75 for adults. We provide an array of different belts to choose from and also offer the customer the chance of making their current belt into a snap belt. That way they are able to still wear their current buckle and one of ours too. There is no charge for this and we do it right at our stand.
