Founded in 2009 by Jessica R. Metcalfe from the Turtle Mountain band of the Chippewa Nation, Beyond Buckskin evolved from a blog to a popular online boutique showcasing work by North American Native jewelry artists and fashion designers. Their 40+ partners come from a range of backgrounds but share a common goal – to “advance traditional Indigenous artistic practices by bringing ancient designs, natural materials, and cultural stories to modern fashion.”

We currently work with over 40 individual artists and small businesses to get their incredible and unique work out to a broader audience. Our designers all advance traditional Indigenous artistic practices by bringing ancient designs, natural materials, and cultural stories to modern fashion. Diversity, beauty, utility and tradition come together in the garments and accessories we share with the world – from our hands to yours.
