Mane and Feather began as a small passion project between two horse-loving cowgirls from the Alberta foothills. What started with a love of horses, western style and creating things by hand grew into far more than we ever expected.
We've had the privilege of creating custom hats, hoodies, leather goods and western pieces for customers across Canada and beyond.
As life changes, we've made the decision to slowly wind down Mane and Feather. We're incredibly proud of what we created and, most importantly, grateful for everyone who supported us along the way.
