This interview combined all my favorite things... small businesses, cowhide, jewelry, western fashion, and a sweet soul like Malorie! Burlap Bovine (and Malorie) have quickly become one of my favorite businesses to buy from and follow, I'm so glad we got to chat!
More on Malorie:
When it comes down to it, Malorie Walker, owner & maker of Burlap Bovine, has always been two things her entire life: passionate about agriculture and creative. She grew up on her family's cattle ranch in Livermore, CA and held onto her roots fiercely as she ventured into her professional career. Upon graduating from California Polytechnic State University with a degree in agricultural communication, Malorie moved to Sacramento to begin her professional career with the California Cattlemen's Association as a communication staff member. After losing her father to pancreatic cancer in 2017, she decided to step back from what had been her dream career path to build something from scratch, taking an entrepreneurial nod from both her mother and late-father. Thus, her part-time side hustle had become her full-time small creative business, Burlap Bovine. Serving the western community through creative designs that bring joy to others has become much more than just making and selling a product. It has blossomed into a journey to help empower women through happiness and the power of positive interaction. The cute cowhide pieces are a happy bonus! When she's not spending her time creating new designs or making something out of cowhide or leather, you can find her in the dance studio tap dancing! That's how you know the happy dances are real every time she gets to send happy mail to her customers, most of whom have become her friends because of the wonderful community that is her herd!
