About us

Welcome to By Your Favorite Aunties (BYFA)! Founded by two sisters, Samantha and Cynthia Dick, BYFA is a celebration of traditional craftsmanship rooted in the Tsilhqot'in Nation, where we grew up on our family ranch nestled in the heart of the Chilcotin.

Our journey began with cherished memories of watching our grandparents skillfully sew traditional apparel, bead exquisite looms, and tan hides with precision and care. Inspired by this rich heritage, we rediscovered the art of beading in 2020, finding solace and serenity in this timeless practice. What started as a pastime soon blossomed into a passion, igniting our creativity and sparking new avenues of expression—from sewing to digital art.

We also blend tradition with technology by designing digital artwork, which we transform into vibrant prints for T-shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts.

Whether you're browsing through our online store or spotting us at your local vendor site or upcoming events, we invite you to join us on this journey and explore the beauty of Indigenous craftsmanship and creativity.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for supporting our small business. Your encouragement and enthusiasm fuel our passion, and we can't wait to share more of our creations with you soon.

Thank you for being a part of the BYFA community. We'll see you soon!
