Game Day Collection Worn with Spirit
We present the Game Day Collection - meticulously milled vibrant stones — from the azure of Kingman Turquoise and the fire of Italian Red Coral to the rich hues of Purple and Orange Spiny Oyster, Lapis, and Black Onyx. This is your opportunity to curate a personal emblem of support, selecting the precise colors that honor your favorite team.
OUR STORY
Cowgirls & Indians is a dialogue between two profound cultural legacies. We are an expression of provenance, forged at the intersection of Diné artistry from the Vanderwagen homelands and the pioneering ethos of a fifth-generation Texan lineage. Our foundation is a reverent homage to both the sacred craft of the Navajo and the storied heart of Austin.
Hat bands from the four corners
We believe an heirloom is not an object, but a narrative forged by hands that honor a timeless legacy. Our hat bands are a reverent homage to the sacred silversmith artistry of the Diné, transforming a simple cowboy hat from an object into a personal emblem. Whether it's the hand-stamped Texas Flood concho link inspired by SRV, or the more personalized Nizhóní with limitless stone selections.
Concho Belts from the Homelands
Our concho belts are sculptural statements forged in Navajoland by renowned Diné artisan. A physical dialogue with the artisan, a testament to a lineage of sacred craft. The Sundance offers a fluid succession of 23 scalloped conchos, their liquid brilliance centered by your choice of personal talisman—from Spiny Oyster to Italian Red Coral. The Wildfire counters with a formidable link of thick-gauged silver, its deeply struck ancestral stamps.
Charming Reminders from the Four Mountains
Our limited edition boot charms are designed to animate every step. The Boot Scootin' set features five exquisite Navajo Cowboy Boot Charms, each a miniature masterpiece. An adjustable, handmade sterling chain ensures a bespoke fit, ready to drape flawlessly over every cowgirl boot, cowboy boot, or moccasin.
