The Birth of a Brand
Five years ago, during the COVID chaos, Melissa, a livestock industry worker, traveled solo across the American West's remote ranches. On empty highways and through rugged cowboy towns, she shared tales of adventure, misadventure, and the enduring spirit of the Western frontier—freedom, grit, and a "rogue" mystique—when the world felt like it was unraveling. That journey, sparked by a single selfie, now inspires every Rogue Frontier design. We’re excited to share our products with you, straight from the edge.
