01 / Our roots

Memory into meaning

Not just where
we come from.
What we carry

Room for your own story.

Established in 2010, DREAD IX brings Indigenous American heritage into a contemporary design language. Symbolism, personal growth, and cultural diversity shape our point of view.

We translate that perspective into leather goods with a distinct presence: structured forms, expressive surfaces, and details that make the everyday feel personal.
