ARTIST STATEMENT

I am Nicole Kirby, a leather artisan located in rural Canada, with a strong connection to Western culture.

The essence of horses, ranching, and the western lifestyle has always been close to my heart, providing significant inspiration for my craft.

Drawing from the values and traditions passed down through generations, I combine traditional leather working techniques with original design to embody the spirit and ruggedness of ranch life in each piece I create.

My goal is to honour and commemorate the western lifestyle through my art, bridging the past era to present day.

TESTIMONIALS

I am so grateful I came across Niki at Prestige Leather. I saw the most beautiful handmade leather shoes, like nothing I had seen before. The details were unique and lucky for me, the shoes fit perfectly. I then reached out to have another custom pair of sandals made. I get so many compliments, and I love that her pieces are one of a kind and amazing quality. I can't wait for our next project!

Niki's work is exquisite, tactile, intricate and imbued with a life of its own. Niki created more than just a beautiful piece of art. She captured a memory and gave us a tangible piece of our beloved dog, Maya. Nikis skillful hands and compassionate heart have woven themselves into the fabric of our lives. A testament to the power of art and the enduring bond between humans and their furry companions.
