Sunward
Shopping
Vail, 81657
About
Sunward is a Western lifestyle brand that makes its own jewelry, leather accessories and hat adornments at a studio in Gypsum and sells them from a small storefront in Lionshead Village. The shop is in the Arcade Building at 531 East Lionshead Circle, next to Alpine Pizza Company.
It suits anyone who wants a Western hat that looks like theirs rather than off the rack, light leather earrings to wear home, or a gift with a maker behind it. Come prepared to talk through a custom piece; the ready-made stock is only part of the shop.
Hats
Sunward sells its own hat collection and a selection of Stetsons, then dresses them: hats are burned with designs and styled with bands and adornments, and hat-wrap kits let you restyle one yourself. Styled hats are also sold ready to wear.
Jewelry
The earrings are cut from genuine veg-tanned leather, often with brass or acrylic. For custom silver, maker Carrie sketches each design and works with you one-on-one; pieces are handmade in fine silver at the Gypsum studio and take two to four weeks.
Clothing and gifts
A small clothing edit includes Tasha Polizzi, Queen of Sparkles, Deepa Gurnani and Jaded Gypsy, along with tees, trucker caps, and leather gloves and mittens. The studio also does custom drinkware and branded goods for businesses.
When to find them
The Lionshead store is closed on Sundays. On summer Sundays Sunward usually sets up at the Vail Farmers Market on Meadow Drive, and the team travels to shows such as the National Western Stock Show in Denver. Store hours vary by season, so check the FAQ.
