Hide & Hive Dry Goods is a one woman business that is run anywhere Lara happens to be at the time.
From the rivers and mountains of Idaho to the seashores of Washington, Lara prides herself on her ability to set up shop wherever she lands, though currently she most frequently creates out of her home shop in Western Washington.
She mostly creates custom or made-to-order pieces but loves to keep a select few shops stocked when she has excess items.
She studied sculpture and design in college and worked with a saddle maker in Salmon, Idaho to learn the art of leather.
She now creates various old world essentials and her designs are an attempt to transform the icons of western frontier life into modern heirlooms.
She fuses conscientious business practices with traditional techniques to create rugged yet modern products that are built to last.
