Shoot From the Hip is a new take on the old west — a Canadian-made leather line that marries traditional techniques with modern style sensibilities to offer jewellery and accessories that are at once kitsch and current. Original designs are hand-carved and tooled into full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather before pieces are stained, highlighted, finished and stitched by hand. 

Patterns are inspired by conventional leatherwork themes, Canadiana, natural and organic objects, and 70’s motifs of woodgrain and wallpaper. The goods at Shoot From the Hip include necklaces, hand-painted earrings, clutches, handlebar bags and bicycle accessories, belts, buckles, guitar straps, flasks, wallets, bracelets and more.

In addition to being featured on style sites like loveitalot.com and foundhandmade.com, and at events like Toronto’s Queen West Art Crawl and Orange County’s SPEAKEASY, Shoot From the Hip can be found at…
