Gustafson Kayak Moccasin
Meet your go-to moccasin: the Kayak. Lightweight, breathable, and built for comfort, it's made with soft leather and the signature Turtle sole for sturdy support—whether you're strolling city streets or wandering forest trails. This timeless style features floral artwork by Shannon Gustafson, a member of Whitesand First Nation, whose designs are rooted in ancestral teachings and a deep connection to the land. Shannon's beadwork is an expression of healing, love, and identity—honouring her people and traditions with every stitch.
About the Art
On Pattern:
"A color palette of the past, I say chi Miigwetch to my ancestors for leaving behind such artistry. You are the inspiration for my art. You have connected me with my identity, my people, my land, and just all of creation. My love for you all extends out to the universe."
On Beadwork:
"I didn't always love florals. I didn't learn to love them until I learned to love myself. Like poetry, beadwork is the ultimate Indigenous form of personal expression, so this work represents my love for the land, the medicines and plant life. Beadwork is special, it is healing, it is love."
