About my Work

Hello! My name is Lauren Snyder and I create unique handmade leather western accessories. 

My signature offerings are my hybrid leather bolo tie-scarf slides. These hand made slides include special features that are completely unique and cannot be found anywhere else, and are  inspired by my adoration of of horse tack.

In addition to the slides, I make classic bolo ties and leather wrapped feather hat bands. 

I have also collaborated with my mom, who is an excellent seamstress and amazing artist to make bandana style scarves with vintage lace to wear with your scarf slides. 

Everything I create is inspired by my love of western culture, nature, gemstones, and my real day-to-day life here in Montana, which involves being outdoors in all types of weather and elements 365 days a year tending to the land and my 4 horses, 4 dogs, 2 goats, 2 geese, and 15 chickens.

I am passionate about sourcing locally and supporting my community.

All leather materials have been acquired here in Montana - the leather is also a no-waste product purchased as scrap pieces from a local purse maker here in Lakeside. All of the stones and antlers have been sourced through myself (out on hikes), my family, local old school rock hounds, along with traveling to local gem shows. I come from a long line of stone collectors and jewelry makers (both my mother & grandmother) and each piece is carefully selected. And lastly, my feathers are gathered from the birds here at the ranch.

I handcraft each piece personally with presence and setting intentions of truth & unconditional love. No two stones are alike making every scarf slide one-of-a-kind. Every stone holds not only a slice of nature, it holds a specific measurable frequency that your body attunes too. When worn in between your heart and throat, it helps us cultivate more love for ourselves and the world around us - connecting us back to our true authentic nature.

Scarf slides are a perfect addition to your western wardrobe. I wear mine everywhere - from doing chores, riding my horses, running errands, to dressing up for dinners, parties, and special events!
