This power of art and cultural gift is a true presentation to our customers, followers and community.
We have high ethical standards and a genuine sense of responsibility to our Indigenous artists. For every Collaboration item sold, Hides in Hand pays a generous royalty the artist for their artwork.
We have chosen to incorporate drawn images of art in the form of embroidery onto our leathers. These images all hold a personal meaning to the artist and marriages so beautifully onto our deerskin and moose hide leathers. As we collaborate with our Indigenous artists, we continually learn the meanings of their cultural expression.
As an artist and designer myself, this Elite section is a place where I too can really express some of my own artwork and ideas. As I love working with leathers and furs, this section allows me to take my creativity to another level. Make sure you come back and visit this section and find what treasures we've added.

I created the 'Sabrina' line because the florals that my matriarchs used are simply beautiful. I feel that re-introducing this bright, colourful and beautiful floral is a trend that just does not end. It's pretty, it's feminine and it's very folklore. A style that can be worn by anyone who loves colour and all things pretty.
