We feel fortunate that, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Sundance Catalog, Jes was inspired to create the exquisite new Celebrate Life, Love & Happiness Bracelet and Love & Harmony Ring to honor Sundance’s own artistic heritage and earth-friendly values.

“The spirit of what I do comes from life, love and happiness,” she says. “I created these two pieces with yellow gold, rose gold and silver to represent the spiritual power that connects us to our harmonious existence—living a life of balance.” Jes adds that she hopes her jewelry inspires people to ‘follow the sun,'” which is the message she chose to adorn her enchanting new cuff.

As always, Jes’ creations embody her whimsical spirit and signature style. “Every piece is hand-made with its own unique energy that feels good to wear,” she says. “And I believe that this is because we take pride in every meticulous detail and find joy in the integrity in every step of the way.”

For our 30th anniversary catalog, we searched far afield for unusual or one-of-kind works of art. Among our very favorite finds were these Bolivian poncho pillows.

A unique way to accent any room, these beautifully colorful pillows are indeed made of vintage ponchos from Bolivia. Not just any poncho, these were previously high-quality garments worn mostly by men for special occasions. Times and styles change, but rather than having these beautiful items be forgotten, we in the spirit of Sundance chose to repurpose them as functional art pieces.

Ponchos hold a special significance in this high-elevation South American nation. Bolivian artisans have long used high-quality alpaca wool to knit these garments, so they have earned a reputation as producing the highest-quality poncho you can find. Alpaca wool is used because it keeps the body warmer than other types of sheep wool, and it can even protect from the wearer from rain or snow.

Now repurposed as pillows, it’s their vibrant stripes, deep colors and a rich texture steeped in Andean mountain culture that will capture your attention and maybe fuel your wanderlust. Each pillow is one of a kind — each will vary.

Please note that because vintage ponchos are very rare, our supply of Vintage Bolivian poncho pillows is by necessity quite limited. Be sure to order early for best selection.

Our classic Sundance Wine Tumblers are products of the glassblowing program at Sundance Mountain Resort. The program was developed many years ago out of necessity. The resort has restaurants, a bar and guest areas that all produce glass waste, but at that time there was no nearby glass-recycling facility. So, in typical Sundance fashion, the resort created their own glass-recycling program and turned the results into functional art.

The whole glassblowing process is fascinating. While Sundance Mountain Resort collects glass bottles and jars throughout the year, the expert glassblowing artisans from Mexico come to work on the property seasonally. The resort invites them to transform the used glass into these tumblers and several other glass forms, such as housewares and art pieces.

The recycling process begins by removing labels, washing the glass and sorting by color. After breaking the bottles into small pieces, the glass is melted down in the glass furnace. The glassblowers use long metal poles to pick up the molten glass, then skillfully spin and blow it to create the desired shape and texture. Glassblowing is a delicate art, and using recycled glass is even more challenging to work with since it’s less pliable and cools more rapidly than new glass. So the glassblowers are truly amazing artisans! Finally, the finished pieces are tempered in the glass kiln and made ready for sale.

Sundance Mountain Resort guests like to stop by the glass studio to watch this mesmerizing artistry in action. And the results, such as these beautiful Sundance Wine Tumblers, have been pleasing many of our customers for years.

Available exclusively at Sundance but in a very limited supply, this remarkable table is made from posts and beams salvaged from a 110-year-old warehouse in Racine, Wisconsin. Because none of the vintage posts and beams are identical, each table is truly one of a kind. You’ll find that each imparts a sturdiness and special character all its own.

The story of the reclaimed wood reflects a vital part of America’s industrial history. The now-demolished warehouse was home for many years to the J.I. Case Company, maker of steam engines and thresher machines. Decades later, it became the manufacturing home of Western Publishing, whose products include the popular Little Golden Books line of children’s books. Anyone remember “The Poky Little Puppy?”

Though the connection to a bygone era of Midwest manufacturing is real, it’s the story of the wood itself that is most fascinating. The lumber was painstakingly salvaged from the old Racine warehouse because it is old-growth longleaf pine, originally cut from 400- to 600-year-old trees that once grew in vast forests throughout the South. Also known as heart pine timber, this type of old-growth wood is virtually impossible to find today. Nearly all of the tree’s estimated 92 million acre range was harvested in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to meet America’s fast-rising demand for lumber. That demand, combined with the fact that longleaf pine is a slow-growing tree, has made this wood a rare and valuable commodity today.

Just in time for our 30th anniversary of our catalog, the reclaimed Sundance Heritage Dining Table is sure to be a conversation starter and make a beautiful addition to your home. Maybe for the next 100 years.

Found in Nashville and Coachella and in lands further afield, Old Gringo boots have been known to turn heads in all sorts of urban and rural settings. Rock stars prize them as much as equestrians do.

At Sundance, we love Old Gringo boots for their vintage and retro styling as well as their hand-sewn craftsmanship. The artisans at Old Gringo share our passion for unique looks that keep fashion fun and interesting. While the brand was originally founded in Mexico, the two owners of Old Gringo actually hail from Spain and France, which leads to a certain European sensibility infusing their bold Western designs. To call them cowboy boots is correct, yet it hardly seems sufficient.

Style aside, Old Gringos are wonderfully comfortable and durable. Each pair is created by a talented artisan using a labor-intensive process that features more than 130 steps. The buttery soft leathers they use are designed to fit you like a glove.

As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, Sundance is proud to share with you our Old Gringo collection as one of our heritage brands.

Distinctly American in styling and attitude, Frye boots and bags come with a heritage and authenticity like no other. It was back in 1863 when John A. Frye opened his first shoe store in Massachusetts. Even in those early years, he was committed to creating iconic leather goods by using only the best materials, craftsmanship and design.

The Frye story goes on to read like a Hollywood script. Many a New Englander heading cross-country in the late 19th century to settle lands out West prized their Frye boots, as did Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. Later, Frye Wellington boots became the rage among officers in World War II, while the 1960s and ‘70s saw the Frye Campus Boot evolve into a counterculture symbol of rebellion and freedom.

Worn by the courageous and cool, Frye continues to be recognized today for timeless style and unparalleled quality. It’s become the cult-like favorite of bikers, cowgirls, celebrities, and debutantes alike. Its commitment to craftsmanship remains the same today as it was over 150 years ago.

Here at Sundance, we’re proud to work closely with Frye to bring back classic styles, some that you can’t find anywhere else. We offer this Frye collection as one of the featured brands of our 30th anniversary celebration.

Sundance artisan Jesse Robbins has a passion for turquoise. The richly colored turquoise found in our collection of Jesse’s exquisite jewelry can often be traced back to the turquoise nuggets and flats he finds at his own Cheyenne mine in remote north-central Nevada.

A trained archaeologist, the Arizona native explains that people have traveled to the desert for thousands of years to search for turquoise. “I’m just part of this long lineage of people who come to the middle of nowhere,” he says, “to seek this stone that seems to have a very human feel – that was meant to be a part of us.”

Jesse notes his mine doesn’t produce a lot of turquoise, and as a responsible steward of the land, he is careful not to disturb any more dirt than is necessary. The turquoise he does find is typically in small pieces but offers a stunningly rich color palette, with high grades of greens and blues.

He has become uniquely skilled to use even the smallest stones, wasting nothing. “I am able to use those small pieces in my mosaic work and in other ways in jewelry that some people don’t necessarily have the ability to do.”

Watch this evocative Sundance video of Jesse as his discusses his beloved Cheyenne mine and his process of making jewelry. And be sure to browse our Jesse Robbins jewelry collection, one of the highlights of the Sundance catalog’s 30th anniversary celebration.
