handmade by Indigenous artisans in Northern Canada

handmade by Indigenous artisans in Northern Canada These coats are highly valued for their authentic design, warmth, and unique cultural statement. Style: Traditional parka, a design that has been worn for hundreds of years in the Canadian Arctic and sometimes features a "Mother Hubbard" style with a deep flounce at the bottom. Material: made from 100% wool for warmth and durability. Design: Features black felt appliqué designs of two birds (possibly geese) Trim: Has a large fur ruff around the hood and cuffs, likely made from coyote or fox fur, which provides excellent protection from wind and snow. Origin: Often handmade in communities across the Northwest Territories or other parts of Northern Canada, reflecting a strong cultural heritage and expert craftsmanship. I have had this coat for over 20 years. I believe it was likely made in the 80s.
