INUKT

The story of this brand starts with a Road Trip like most beautiful adventures. It is a road trip that does not head out but heads back Home. Coming back to Canada after 23 years of living in France, I saw this country with a totally new outlook than the one that I had when I left. Canada is beautiful and has an overall good reputation, but it still lacked glamour. Going back to the root of Canada by exploring the rich culture of the First Nations of Canada seemed an important place to begin. This is what led me to find suppliers on reserves such as Wendake. I looked for artisans that were still creating original First Nations wares but that were opened to reinterpreting them with me in order to add a fashionista flavor to them. The idea was born from this desire, to contribute to a new Canadian identity of Rock, Glamour and Edge. The trip became possible only when my traveling mate quite miraculously appeared before me on the road. (Wearing a down jacket like most Canadians of course BUT in tweed!). Hence the philosophy of this brand was born. Introducing a First Nations inspired collection reinterpreted with an urban edge. Rigorously made in Canada. All accessories and footwear made on First Nations reserves. Hand crafted , High end standards Dedicated to giving back to First Nations cultural activities and programs A line that is tied to the History of Canada with a silk bow
