Our Story

The Buckin’ West began at the end of 2022 when I had one very specific thought:

“I want to create cheeky, Australian, western designs that make people look at it and go… fuck yeah, that’s me.”

Aussie, cheeky, rural, real.

I’m Tayla — the one-woman show behind the drawings, packing, posting, planning, and everything in between. I started Buckin’ West during one of the most chaotic times of my life, sketching designs between work, life changes, and trying to stay sane. But the idea stuck… and it grew.

Every design is drawn by hand, inspired by the people, stories and culture you only really understand if you grew up west of the range — dusty roads, country humour, sunrise drives, and the characters you’ll only meet in the middle of nowhere at 2am.

We release small batches because this brand is built intentionally: with heart, with grit, and with a community that’s supported me from day one. No big investors. No shortcuts. Just me, doing what I love, and making shirts that feel like home.

Buckin’ West is for the bold ones, the laid-back ones, the country misfits, the rodeo girls, the pub legends — and anyone who loves a bit of Aussie culture stitched into their wardrobe.

Thanks for being here.

This really is just the beginning.
