About Fields Outfitting

We design goods for your home, kitchen, and wardrobe, working in collaboration with artisans and makers across Argentina to bring them to life. 

Fields Outfitting employs a network of weavers, dyers, blacksmiths, carpenters, leather smiths, tailors, embroiderers, and other artisans across Argentina. We create opportunities in forgotten areas of the country where families have relied on the livelihood of their craft for generations, making sure that they are fairly compensated for their work. 

By telling their stories and bringing them closer to you, we hope to keep their specialized, ancient crafts alive. 

We chose to take this path both to give back to a country that has given us so much, and to create products that are significantly more sustainable, sincere, and meaningful. The world already has too much stuff, most of it poor quality and harmful to the environment and the people who make it. We know there is a different way.

All of our goods are hand-made in Argentina using locally sourced materials wherever possible. 

Fields Outfitting creates products that are unique, imaginative, and made with careful craftsmanship. 

You won’t find anything like this anywhere else.

We follow three simple rules at Fields Outfitting that guide what we do day in and day out:

Put People First.

One of the main reasons we started Fields was so that we could make an impact, and give back to a country that has given so much to us. We build long-lasting relationships with the people behind our products, pay them fair wages, and try to empower and uplift them by telling their stories and sharing their creations.

The Artisans and Makers are the real stars of the show, and we prefer telling their stories to ours.

Keep it Local, Take it Slow.

One of the most beautiful things about Argentina is the pace of life. Getting away from the culture of “everything now” is equally challenging and refreshing.

We take our time when making things. 100% of our products are made in Argentina, and the vast majority are made by hand using locally sourced raw material.

Not only does this feel like the right thing to do, but sourcing and producing locally reduces carbon emissions and helps us be a more sustainable startup.

Have Fun With It.

If you are going to spend the better part of your life working, you might as well enjoy it!

We try to meet people as many people as possible, and strive to be kind and generous, to constantly learn, and have fun while doing it.

There you have it folks! Me, my small (but awesome) team, and the craftspeople that make our goods put tons of love, dedication, and no small bit of skill into making Fields Outfitting come to life.

I am confident you will sense that whenever you interact with our products.

If you've got any questions, ideas, feedback, or just something cool to share, don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at ryan@fieldsoutfitting.com. 

Cheers!
