Story:
This artwork is a representation of the strength and knowledge that our old people hand down within our communities and the hearts of our little ones. We call them our Elders, Our Loved ones, Guider of Generations and Cultural knowledge holders. Lifting us up when times are low and celebrating us in our highs, they are the teachers, the survivors, the ones that bring tenacity and strength and nurture us into good health and well being. They keep our bellies full and our culture strong, sharing stories as we draw strength from their knowledge and experience. We always listen to our Elders, but most of all respect and cherish what they pass down! Our Elders hold a prominent place in our community and family.

Measure firmly around your chest and let the measuring tape rest just under your bust, ensuring that the tape is lying straight across your back.
The under bust measurement will be your band size (Number).
If you measure between sizes, it is advisable to go up or down to the closest size number.

So beautiful and light weight. I've had so many compliments on it, and I love getting to explain the story of the design. It's wonderful having such beautiful indigenous pieces of art as wearable pieces, definitely a new staple in my wardrobe.
Lovely material with a good drape on the body. Beautiful design with bright colours.
I am looking forward to wearing it frequently.
Exactly as pictured, stunning colours and design, lovely flowy material. Great quality. Love these Indigenous-designed products. Great store to deal with too - good communication and FAST shipping. Thanks so much!
