A Rich History
The mere mention of "American West" conjures up images of cowboys and pathfinders in search of new frontiers. With this pioneering tradition, American West® celebrates the human spirit that lives on in the hearts of many, still today as in days gone by.
It is this legacy that has inspired American West's product line, the leaders in Western handbags and accessories for over 21 years. It is a legacy of quality, hand-crafted leather items made by hand - one at a time - that reflect the true values of the West. Founded in 1986, American West® specializes in elegant leather goods, hand-tooled by skilled craftsmen from the Guarani Indian tribe. Each American West® design is classic at heart, with a fresh take on the tradition of hand-tooling and western style.
As a result of sound growth over the years and benefiting from an established and recognized brand, American West® is regarded as the leader in Western handbags and accessories.
Inspired Designs
Individually hand crafted one-at-a-time, American West® bags are made of 100% hand picked genuine leather with constant attention to quality and durability.
They stand behind their products with an unconditional manufacturers guarantee by repairing or replacing
the products at no cost to the customer.
Capturing the spirit of the true West, American West® designs are influenced by the men and women
who embrace the lifestyle and are proud to be part of the culture.
Therefore they will not sacrifice their steadfast belief that each tooled piece is crafted by individual strikes - one-by-one - to create these beautiful works of art. Though
their products are created by time-honored traditions, the modern day conveniences of cell phone pouches, credit card slots and zipper pulls (to mention only a few) are not forgotten in the design detail.
The popular American West® designs feature handbags, luggage, briefcases, small leather goods and gift items from a collection of more than 450 styles. Added is the American West's Home Collection that features more than fifty unique pillow designs ranging from whimsical to classic Cowboy. All products carry a lifetime manufacturers defect guarantee.
