At the Helm are friends Erin Carnegie & Charity Armitage. Western Culture has always been a part of Erin & Charity's lives as Ranchers and farm owners who believe in the core values of the west. Both are wives and each mothers to 2 wonderful boys living in a rural community north of Irma, AB. A love of the Western Culture and creativity has lead them to start this highly rewarding venture together. It began with making Cowls to provide warmth to ranchers and farmers in the cold winters. The cowls were a huge success and has lead them down some incredible avenues. Broadening a product range to include handmade wild rags and scarves, a large range of leather products as well creating a niche in the custom order market for many items such as Livestock Manifests and Calving Book Covers. Product development is ever evolving and one the most rewarding aspects of the business.
