Mtn Born.

 

All Mtn Straps products are handcrafted with pride in the shadows of the Bridger Mountains in Bozeman, Montana. From our hands to yours. From our mountains to yours. Each piece—whether a ski pole strap, dog collar, or leash—is designed and built to keep up with all the mountain adventures you and your four-legged friends chase.

Our Story

Mtn Straps began with a simple idea. Years ago, while our daughter was teaching skiing, she often saw students mix up their poles—because they all looked the same. One day, riding the chairlift, the idea struck: why not swap out the standard straps for patterned webbing that made poles unique and personal?

The concept stayed in the back of my mind for years. Then in 2017, after tinkering in the shop, making prototypes, and field-testing them on the slopes, Mtn Straps officially launched.

Soon after, during an après ski stop at Beehive Basin Brewery, I admired the artwork on a bartender’s hat. She turned out to be the artist herself, Heather Rapp. That chance meeting led to our first artist collaboration and sparked the ever-evolving design collection that defines who we are today. Other talented artists soon joined, adding fresh perspectives, color, and story to every strap we make.

The fun patterns immediately started conversations on chairlift rides and in lift lines. Friends began asking us to craft dog collars and leashes in matching designs for their adventure pups. As lifelong dog lovers, we gladly said yes—building rugged, stylish gear for four-legged explorers.

Our Community

We’re lucky to live and work in a place that thrives on five things: dogs, skiing, the outdoors, art, and well-crafted products. Put those together and you get a community that fuels our creativity and inspires our work every day.

We’re grateful for the friends, retailers, and supporters who’ve been part of this journey and helped spread the word. Each day, we wake up excited about what’s next.
