Meet Loyal West

Born from a love of the American West, Loyal West is an American brand inspired by open range living and the tradition of handmade leatherwork.

Their philosophy is centered around creating pieces designed to be worn, weathered and enjoyed for years rather than just a season. Their collections celebrate the natural character of leather, from the markings of genuine cowhide to the detail found in hand tooled designs.

Our Story | Handcrafted Leather Goods | Loyal West

And that is exactly what court our eye.

At Willow Wanderers, we've always loved bringing together Australian country style with pieces influenced by the incredible Western fashion coming out of the USA. Loyal West fits beautifully into that story.

Western Bags That Are Anything but Ordinary

One of the things we love most about Loyal West is the individuality of their pieces.

Their bag collections feature hair on cowhide, calfskin leather, hand tooled leather, fringe and traditional Western detailing, with many styles handcrafted in small batches. 

With genuine cowhide in particular, the natural markings mean your bag can have its own individual character.

No cookie cutter Western accessories here.

Think beautiful black and white cowhide, warm brown leather, intricate floral tooling, antique inspired hardware and those gorgeous details that make you want to turn the bag around and look at it from every angle.

They're Western without feeling like a costume.

From the American West to Willow Wanderers

Finding beautiful pieces from around the world has always been part of Willow Wanderers.

We source across Australia and the USA, bringing together collections that feel Western, feminine, wearable and a little different from what you'll find everywhere else.

Adding Loyal West to our collection felt like a natural next step.

Their craftmanship works beautifully alongside our Western clothing, denim and accessories, whether you're dressing for Eumundi Markets, a country music festival, a rodeo, the races or simply everyday life.

Throw one over your shoulder with your favourite barrel jeans, boots and a simple tee and let the bag do the talking.

Cowhide: No Two Bags Are Exactly Alike

One of our favourite things about natural cowhide is that it isn't supposed to look perfectly identical.

The colouring, markings and pattern placement naturally vary from hide to hide. That means when you choose a genuine hair on cowhide bag, those little differences are part of it's character. 

Loyal West embraces those natural textures rather than trying to hide them, describing its leather goods as pieces designed to develop more character as they're worn.

For us, that's what a beautiful Western leather piece should be.

Something that goes places with you.

And something that tells a little more of a story the longer you own it.
