It was December 2020, in the middle of a full-blown pandemic, and I was in Fort Worth, Texas, working at the National Finals Rodeo. Next to my booth was a wonderful couple, Jim and Kathy Sigle. They showcased some of the most amazing Western art I had ever seen.
I was captivated by the way Kathy’s horse paintings seemed to flow right out of the canvas. They almost appeared three-dimensional. The colors, movement, and detail were incredibly lifelike, and I was truly impressed.
I introduced myself, and we spent time talking throughout the event. By the end of the ten-day show, I suggested that we explore a partnership. I had a vision of transforming Kathy’s incredible artwork into handbags.
A few weeks later, Kathy sent me some of her canvas artwork, and together we created a collection of handcrafted leather purses.
Today, nearly six years later, I look back and realize what a blessing that meeting was. I had the opportunity to meet such talented and genuine people. As fellow artisans, we share a passion for color, creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. That shared vision helped make this unique collection a success.
Western art is not for everyone. It is not created for the masses. It is made for those who appreciate hard work, American craftsmanship, and the unmistakable smell of genuine leather built to last.
These are the farmers, ranchers, horse lovers, and livestock enthusiasts who understand and value authentic craftsmanship.
The Kathy Sigle Collection is available exclusively at Kathysigleart.com. Nothing is mass-produced. Every handbag is carefully handcrafted with exceptional attention to detail and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
