We have been using wood and resin in the production of our phone cases for a long time.

We also have an exclusive series called our GALAXY SERIES which incorporates Eco Resin and coloured addatives to create some special one-of-a-kind phone cases.

We decided to combine the look of our Galaxy Series cases with our wood inlays and the result was an absolutely stunning creation that is truly the epitome of functional art.

Appearing on CBC's Dragons' Den in Feb 2018, we struck a handshake deal with Manjit Minhas to help propel our brand forward.

Ultimately choosing to hold equity in our company during the due diligence process, we were able to use the opportunity to launch ourselves into a next chapter of product design and online presence.

We began offering custom engravings to our customers through our online Custom Case Builder.

Not only could people choose their wood type and a curated design, they could now also submit their own image or company logo to have a truly personalized wooden smartphone case.

Ditch the bulky wallet, a new iteration of our original Alto Wallet is realeased.

Modular design tailored for minimalists.

We consider ourselves the first to come up with a novel design allowing users to fan-out cards for easy access.

Using Kickstarter as a launch tool, we ran a successful campaign to launch our new wood phone case lineup.
We were one of the first Canadian companies to run a successful kickstarter campaign when it finally launched for creators in Canada.

We developed a rubberized bumper design during this campaign and were the first company in the world to ship wood phone cases with rubberized drop protection.

We used marquetry techniques and carbon fiber cores to create a wood longboard unlike any other in the world.

Lighter and stronger than the competition, it featured a drop deck curvature and resin bonding paired with the highest quality woods

We took the idea of pairing luxury woods and snowboard construction to create truly one-of-a-kind longboards in Calgary AB, Canada.

We would later change our working name to Alto Collective as we designed and produced additional products, but the spirit of our original endevour is present in every single thing we create.
