Lindsay Saunders created Cinder & Sage in 2009 after making jewelry for fun for friends and family took off on social media. After graduating with a business degree from the University of Lethbridge, Lindsay, a life-long crafter, wanted to channel some of her creativity and started making jewelry for herself and friends. Before she knew it, she was selling out at local markets and Cinder & Sage was becoming a well-known local brand. Cinder & Sage is now carried in many boutiques across Canada, has a strong online shop and social media following, and is still drawing crowds at local markets. The Cinder & Sage Loft was home to C&S’s studio and was also a fun brick & mortar in the heart of Mission for 7 years. Due to leasing issues, The Loft closed in April 2024. For now, Cinder & Sage is back to their roots with a home studio while they find a new space. You can find C&S in many other local shops, online & at numerous festivals and market such as Lilac Festival, The Calgary Stampede, Calgary Folk Fest, Millarville Christmas Market, Market Collective & more.
