Lucky Star Leather Collection
The Lucky Star Gallery is owned by mother-daughter team Harriette & Missy Allison. Based in Reno, Nevada, Lucky Star Gallery specializes in Western art, jewelry, home decor and leather accessories. In the last month the duo has launched a new website, The Lucky Star Leather Collection, an exclusive line of leather products that are one of a kind in their designs, quality, and classic Western style.
Each of the designs from The Lucky Star Leather Collection is the brain child of Harriette Allison. Harriette won the prestigious Best of Show award at the Western Design Conference in 2009 for the beautiful Painted Ponies Chair {below}. Harriette first began creating leather designs in the late nineties when she was hobbying around at night trying new techniques with wood dying and sewing. Her first large project was an upholstered set of 1950’s wagon wheel furniture. It was showcased in a store window and after raving reviews Harriette knew she had found a new art about which she could become passionate.
Every single item that you see in The Lucky Star Leather Collection is hand made in their shop in Reno. Harriette designs and hand cuts the finest leathers for both inside and outside of each piece, while a local saddle maker hand stitches each item. The work is the same quality as that of a saddle ~ it will last you a lifetime.
Harriette and Missy recently teamed up with jewelry designer Nancy Anderson from Sweetbird Studio to produce an exclusive line of handmade leather belts {ABOVE}. Harriette has also been working on a new line of guitar straps like one seen with Juni Fisher {BELOW}. In addition to offering custom straps for any musical instrument Harriette is also working on another new line of Western-Retro inspired handbags.

You will not find The Lucky Star in a production line overseas, everything is one of a kind and custom, it’s like a work of art that you get to carry with you every day instead of hanging on a wall. Harriette and Missy Allison are 100% committed to keeping craftsmanship alive like it was in Western days gone by. Every single thing about the pieces from The Lucky Star Leather Collection are Made in the USA. It’s a standard that the Allisons live by are proud to share with their customers.

We love Nancy of Sweetbird Studio. We picked up some amazing jewelry from her a few years back at Jazz Fest. Cool to see she teamed up with Lucky Star Gallery, another favorite.
