我们的故事
工艺
精湛工艺
在 Cowgirls & Indians，我们不仅仅制作西部配饰，更是创造传家宝。我们的纳瓦霍手工制品经过精心设计，经久不衰，采用珍贵金属 .925 纯银和 18K 金、可持续皮革以及由专业宝石切割师切割的精选绿松石。我们精心策划了一系列采用传统技术为现代收藏家制作的精美纳瓦霍商品。我们很荣幸能将原汁原味的纳瓦霍工艺带到美国西南部四角区以外的地区。
What We Built
This marketplace is Indigenous-owned and will remain in Indigenous hands. Every decision we make — about which artists we carry, how their stories are told, what they earn — is made by people who understand these communities from the inside.
Nation. Lineage. Process. Materials. Every artist has a dedicated page that tells the whole truth of what they make and where it comes from. You shop with complete confidence.
We build direct relationships with Indigenous artisans. We partner with verified Native artists, pay them fair wages upfront, and handle all fulfillment — shipping, packaging, and delivery.
Why We Exist
The Native art market has always had a structural problem. Most artisans rely on one or two major market weekends a year — Santa Fe Indian Market (SWAIA) in August and the Heard Indian Market in Phoenix — where they can sell directly to collectors at anything approaching full value. For many artists, a single weekend at one of these markets genuinely equals twelve months of income.
Cowgirls & Indians was built to change this. We provide year-round, international infrastructure so artisans can focus on what they do best — creating. A great piece doesn't have to wait until August to find the right buyer. They can stay in the studio doing what they enjoy best making heirlooms. We handle the rest.
遗产
Cowgirls & Indians 精心甄选纳瓦霍珠宝，这些珠宝在新墨西哥州纳瓦霍人的心脏地带由手工匠人精制而成。我们的产品制作精良，旨在讲述一个超越世代的故事——一个关于传承、工艺以及原住民文化与西方文化有力交汇的故事。我们的系列将迪内（纳瓦霍）人的丰富传统与德克萨斯州经久不衰的精神融为一体。
我们总部位于德克萨斯州奥斯汀，由一名“女牛仔”和一名“迪内（纳瓦霍）女孩”共同拥有。我们的基础源于创始人充满活力的历史。Stacy 是一位“女牛仔”和第五代奥斯汀人，她带来了深深扎根于德克萨斯州历史的传承。Kailey 是一名“迪内女孩”，她汲取了纳瓦霍人世代相传的传统。

你好，我的亲戚们和我的族人，我叫 Kailey James。我来自白族，出生于水边族。我的外祖父来自白族。我的祖父来自黑纹木族。就这样，我是一名纳瓦霍女性。
原住民制造
在Cowgirls & Indians，我们的使命是通过对传统和原住民代表性的坚定承诺，尊重和保存纳瓦霍银饰制作的遗产。我们与我们的银匠伙伴紧密合作，确保道德生产规范，提供丰厚的工资、知识产权保护，并展示真正的纳瓦霍工艺。每一件传家宝都由新墨西哥州纳瓦霍地区的土著工匠手工制作。通过直接与原住民艺术家和预留地供应商合作，每一次购买都能提升原住民的声音，并促进经济稳定。银饰制作、印花、沙铸和绿松石镶嵌艺术是纳瓦霍文化和身份的核心。我们确保这些技能对后代来说在经济上仍然可行。
