Description

Designs that travel the world. "Our sources are classic, and we return to them again and again. Everything that we make is an echo of something that we saw, felt or already knew, but the echo is muted and each expression newly made. Innovation is the byproduct of the pursuit of the ideal and inspiration the reward of diligence.""It is hoped that our designs will stimulate a rapport within a community that includes the maker, the wearer, the giver, and the observer; between the maker and the public toward which the act of creation is directed and that includes everyone who appreciates the object for its inherent beauty and the ability of objects to effect a transference of complex human associations, dependent upon ideals of composition, as well as upon the circumstance of possession. Our designs are meant to be worn and to show wear, to reflect the character of the wearer, to attain the status of heirlooms."James Reid, Ltd. is Santa Fe's best known maker of buckles and accessories by virtue of integrity of design and quality of execution. Established in 1979, the house is famous both for original interpretations of Western Americana as well as for designs that transcend the parochial and aspire to the international; its objectives are born both of its regional origins as well as of its aspirations to the broader theatre of contemporary design - to create "designs that travel".
