Sundance Catalog
The first
mailing of the Sundance Catalog was in
It all started because of people's requests for unique, handcrafted items sold at a tiny store in the village at the base of the Sundance Resort. People from all over the country started writing letters, requesting to purchase more items that they saw when visiting Sundance or from people who's friends had items they liked and wanted to buy for themselves.
From the inside cover of the first 1989 issue, Redford writes: "...Our General Store has established relationships with many special artists from across the U.S. This catalog offers the kind of things that we have been privileged to collect, many of them handcrafted exclusively for Sundance. When you purchase something from this catalog, we appreciate the fact that the prime reason is enjoyment for yourself. But you are also supporting American craftspeople, the Sundance Institute for development of new artists in film, music, dance and theater, and efforts to enhance and preserve the environment..."
In addition to apparel, shoes, bags, furniture and home decor, Sundance Jewelry seems to be one of the most popular items from the catalog. Follow the links below to explore Redford's unique collection of artwork and perhaps splurge on yourself or a friend!
