At Cowgirls & Indians, our products are meticulously crafted to tell a story—one that transcends generations. Stories of heritage, craftsmanship, and the powerful intersection of Indigenous and Western cultures. Our collections weave together the rich traditions of the Diné (Navajo) people and the enduring spirit of Texas.

We are based in Austin, Texas, Indigenous-owned by a Cowgirl and Diné (Navajo) Girl. Our foundation rests on the vibrant histories of our founders. Stacy, a cowgirl and 5th-generation Austinite brings with her a heritage deeply rooted in Texas history. Kailey, a Diné girl draws from generations of Navajo tradition.

My paternal grandfather is from the Black Streak Wood Clan. In this way, I am a Navajo woman.

From the high deserts of the Navajo Homelands in Vanderwagon to the historic heart of Texas, together, we blend these two legacies into a collection that reflects the spirit of the Native American Southwest. When you wear a piece from Cowgirls & Indians, you wear a connection to the land, to tradition, and to a spirit that will never fade.

At Cowgirls & Indians, our mission is to honor and preserve the legacy of Navajo silversmithing through a deep commitment to tradition and Native representation. We work closely with our Master Silversmith partner, Lee Charley (Diné), to ensure ethical production practices that provide generous wages, intellectual property protection, and showcase true Navajo craftsmanship. Each heirloom is handmade by Indigenous Artisans in Navajoland, just outside of Gallup, New Mexico. By working directly with Native artists and reservation-based vendors, you elevate Native voices and contribute to economic stability. The art of silversmithing, stampwork, sand-casting, and turquoise setting is central to Navajo culture and identity. We ensure that these skills remain financially viable for future generations. 

At Cowgirls & Indians, we don’t just create Western accessories, we craft heirlooms. Navajo handcrafted Sterling Silver Hatbands, Boot Jewelry, Navajo Concho Belts, Bolo Ties, and Scarf Slides. Each piece is meticulously designed to stand the test of time, made from precious metals .925 Sterling Silver, sustainable leathers, and handpicked turquoise stones cut by professional lapidaries. A rich curation of finely crafted silver goods for legendary hats and boots. We are proud to bring authentic Navajo craftsmanship beyond the 4 Corners.
