Native Trails

What Native Trails does

Native Trails is a privately held US-based manufacturer of artisan-crafted luxury kitchen and bath fixtures, founded in 1998 by Naomi Neilson and headquartered in San Luis Obispo, California. The company combines age-old artisan production techniques with sustainable materials to produce premium sinks, bathtubs, and bath furniture positioned for high-end residential and hospitality design projects.

The product portfolio spans four core categories: kitchen sinks (fireclay manufactured in Umbria, Italy; NativeStone concrete; copper and brushed nickel; and the 2026-launched Concierge Collection workstation line with integrated ledge accessories); bathroom sinks (Precious Metals fireclay with hand-glazed 24k Gold, Platinum, Silver, and Gunmetal finishes; Murano Glass spun-glass vessels; NativeStone concrete; and copper/nickel); freestanding bathtubs in copper and NativeStone concrete; and bathroom vanities across seven collections including Americana (reclaimed barn wood), Cuzco (steel and marble), Solace (FSC oak with concrete), Topanga (walnut), Vintner's and Winemaker (salvaged wine barrels/oak staves), and Zaca (ADA-compliant wall-mount). Proprietary technology is centered on NativeStone, a concrete blend 40% lighter than traditional concrete with sealed stain and crack resistance, alongside NativeStone Shield and MetalProtect coatings. Sourcing relies on artisan supply chains in Italy (fireclay, Murano glass), Eastern Europe (Topanga woodwork), and California (wine-barrel reclamation).

Revenue mechanics are one-time hardware sales at the premium price tier (kitchen sinks $1,098-$6,298; vanities $748-$4,598; Concierge accessories $165-$288). Go-to-market is multi-channel: a domestic showroom/dealer network, a direct e-commerce storefront, an Amazon marketplace presence for accessories, and a dedicated Trade Program for interior designers and architects offering CEU-accredited courses (IDCEC, ASID, NKBA, NARI, GBCI, AIA) plus digital catalogs and finish samples. The company has been B Corp Certified since 2018 and is operated under president Tim Blair alongside founder Naomi Neilson, with no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or institutional ownership.
