Beaded Heritage. Unrivalled Comfort.

The Asema Beaded Slipper is the foundational piece of the Mishkwaton collection, embodying the spirit of artistry and tradition from the Cree First Nation Reserve in Arborg, Manitoba. Asema, meaning 'offering' or 'tobacco' in the Cree language, signifies the respectful and intricate nature of this wearable art.
