I want to start out by saying this list is in no way exhaustive. There are so many women doing truly amazing things within the scope of the motorcycle community and that makes me beam with excitement. This list represents the brands that spark my interest and also represent the intimate and kind-hearted nature of small-businesses that I absolutely adore and appreciate. When you order from these brands, you are helping to put meals on tables and fresh tires on the bike. If you are looking to gift the lady rider in your life, or even just treat yourself, these brands offer some truly amazing options.
If you want to sport some of the most amazing handmade jewelry ever, definitely check out Desert Condor. Besides jewelry, she also makes boot straps, gremlin bells, hats, leather wallets and other unique custom items. By supporting Desert Condor, not only are you getting some beautifully made work, you are also supporting a lady rider and a mom. Check out her Instagram and you’ll know right away how important her family, her work and her bike are. I cannot rave enough about unique and beautiful her creations are.

If you are a lady struggling to find boots or gear that fit you well, then BH & BR is going to be perfect for you. Started by a woman frustrated with her lack of options after riding for over a decade, BH & BR was born. As someone who is extremely small, finding gear that fits well can be a struggle. BH & BR is all about making women’s motorcycle gear and leather goods that are trendy but also fitting and functional. As opposed to clomping around in boots that just don’t seem right, or looking like a linebacker in your over-sized riding jacket – check out BH & BR for some sweet looking helmets, boots, jackets, gloves and the like. Nothing better than being safe, wearing gear that actually fits, and looking cool as hell at the same time.
If you’re looking to spice up your hardcore decor, check out Boozetooth on Instagram, also known as GlassByRome on Etsy. Her work with stained glass is definitely not what you’d find in a church. Using deeper tones like blacks and reds along with designs ranging from vampire fangs to skulls, her stained glass definitely stands out. If you are looking for some unique decor that will fit your motorcycle style, absolutely check out her handmade, unique and beautiful work.
Similar to BH & BR, ATWYLD is a brand centered on making functional women’s riding gear fashionable. Unlike BH & BR, ATWYLD is less focused on your leather must-haves, and offers other gear options that are simply made for female frames such as their armored shirts, off road gear, riding jeans, and even armored leggings. If you struggle to find heavy-duty gear in lady sizes, ATWYLD is absolutely a must.
While this company is still relatively new and small, I am excited to see what it grows into. Their playful apparel that offers an array of options focused on lady riders is unique in both design and purpose. Unlike many leather-centered motorcycle brands, this once focuses on vegan apparel and donates a portion of all proceeds to animal charities on a monthly basis. If you’re looking to support a brand that empowers lady riders and cares for creatures – definitely check out She Wolf Moto Co.
