1882
In 1882, John H. Dobbins hung a shingle outside a small building in southwestern Colorado. It simply said, The Durango Leather Company. At the time, the main steam engine train line was the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad which is still in operation today. The city of Durango was known for a robust mining and saloon culture. Durango embodies the Wild West and outlaw heritage. Today, the Durango Leather Company stays true to its roots by creating unique, modern leather pieces that capture the freedom and spirit of the Old West.
SPRING BEAR
When the first thunder in the spring was heard, it was time for the Native American Bear Dance. Dating back further than the 15th century, it is now a dance of mating and courtship. A dance of women’s choice, they chose a partner by flicking the fringes of their shawls at the men they were interested in.
