High Spring Trading Post

The High Spring Trading Post is located on Highway 7 about three kilometers west of the
Village of Marmora. The trading post features a wide variety of Canadian made leather
goods, jewelry, moccasins, sterling silver and much more.

A BIG "HOWDY" awaits you from our family as we're always looking for an excuse to top
work and chat to all who enter our store. You may also view the leather products being
made in the work shop area of the store. We take custom orders from all over the world for
all types of things made of leather, from pig harness to equipment for dogs, cats and horses
to all types of leather clothing for humans. We are also constantly doing repairs to a wide
variety of leather, canvas and nylon items. So stop by and say Hi, we'd love to have ya!

Once you start wearing a great Leather Moccasin you will never want to go back to those
vinyl shoes ever again! Our Upper Grain leather moc's come in a variety of different
leathers from the butter softness of Deerskin, to the durability of Moose-hide, Elk and
Cowhide. Each of these leathers will shape naturally to your feet, and also allow them to
breath, providing unsurpassed comfort. There are also two varieties of Leather offered in
our Moccasin line, the soft split suede and the more durable upper smooth grains.

The Shop
Welcome to the heart of our business. You know the old saying, "They don't make 'em like
they used to?" This rings very true for us with some of our tools of the trade. Most of the
hand tools and machinery we use today are 100 years old or better, some coming out of
retirement from antique collections. This is how we are able to achieve the very high quality
and longevity of all our handcrafted products. We not only manufacture most of the
leather products in the store, but we also repair a vast array of items. Please call ahead to
see if we can repair what you may want to save.

Our 5200 sq.ft. showroom is chocked full of Canadian Handcrafts. We carry a wide and
varied selection of authentic Native crafts from across Canada, from British Columbia to the
East Coast. WE have beadwork from Churchill Manitoba, soapstone carvings from Eskimos
in the Northwest Territories and from the Six Nations Reserve in Brantford, ON. Our quilts
come from New Brunswick, sheepskin slippers and moccasins from Quebec and the war
shields and dreamcatchers are made in Ontario. These are only a few examples from the
extensive area we cover to obtain authentic Canadian and native made handcrafts.

Much of our inventory changes from season to season, so if you are interested in a
particular item, please ask as we may have something close to it, or be able to find it for you
as things change quite frequently.

We hope you will stop by and say Hi!
