Moccasins

All of my moccasins are one-of-a-kind. When I design a pair for you, they will be in your favourite colours, colours that make you feel good or colours that reflect your spirit.

I use traditional Métis practices and materials in my creations. My work demonstrates a respect for nature and the teachings passed down to me by the Elders. Historically, the Métis are known as “The Flower Beadwork People”, their garments highly decorated with floral bead-works as seen on my creations.

The moccasins that I produce are 100% eco-friendly. No machines or electricity are used. They are the real thing. Every pair is hand-stitched, hand-beaded and a unique piece of Métis art.

An artist always signs their work. Your custom designed Métis moccasins comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity which lists the materials used and is signed and dated by me. Your name will appear on the certificate as the purchaser. If you are gifting them, then the person’s name to whom they are gifted will also appear.

The moccasins below are examples of work that I’ve done for other people. To place an order for your own custom designed pair of hand-stitched, hand-beaded Métis moccasins, please contact me.
