Olson Silver Company

It is a symbol of the tradition and values that we stand for as the Two Cowboys & A Camera. The buckles are tokens of our commitment to the makers in our communities. It showcases the integrity, tradition and authenticity that comes from buying and using local products. These are people we support and that supports us.

Manufacturers in foreign markets can churn out thousands of buckles an hour. Making buckles is no longer an art only reserved for a select few talented artisans. Some of these factories may even come close to the quality and design of what Olson Silver produces. If it were only about the buckle, it would probably not have mattered when one buys a cheaper version made elsewhere. However, it is not only about the buckle. Buying something made by a local artisan comes with a much bigger story.

Wearing an Olson Silver buckle tells the story of the company, its people, the town of High River and the resilience of the many makers in our communities. We hope to encourage more people to shop locally with these and other makers. If we support local producers we are creating employment, character and capacity for growth. We are building our community. We are ultimately investing in ourselves.

We celebrate Producers, Production, and the Prime Movers everywhere: People that make things create our society and build our communities. They drive the engine of our world. We should know more about them, and be inspired by what they do. We should learn from them, and discover for ourselves the value of making something.

Our Mantra is: "I Made This". If you make something, we are interested in featuring you on our channel. Please get in touch: http://www.profiledproductions.com & http://www.twocowboysandacamera.com & http://www.thiscannotbeit.com
