ABOUT THE ARTIST'S Prêt-à-Porter Collection
A collection based in the culture and French Métis heritage. The prêt-à-porter - ready to wear collection is comprised of easy wearing pieces that are so versatile.
“This collection was inspired by my French and Michif culture and community, this collection particularly reflected upon grandmothers. Grandmother, Gramma, Maymair, Mémère; when I speak about grandmothers, the term in michif culture may not only be referring to the grandmother with biological grandchildren, although that is a significant and most important role, it is also a more encompassing, ever affectionate name. It may be someone that does not have grandchildren of her own, she may have nieces, nephews, siblings, or friend’s children or be caregivers of people in the community.
For this collection, I reflected on photos of Métis beadwork of the late 1800s and this sparked the inspiration for many colours of the pieces that I beaded to create the beadwork fabrics. Often historical beadwork pieces are referred to as Grandmothers. They carry part of us in them.
As I hand bead the Beadwork florals, I think about my own grandmothers, and their influence on me. I think about all the other women in my life that encourage me. In these designs I hope you will see elements of my Métis and French culture, and an honouring of all grandmothers”.

🖤🖤🖤
The Beadwork that was photographed for this print was one of my original pieces. I am a Beadwork artisan, fashion entrepreneur, designer Christine Tournier rom St Louis, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Beadwork is my passion. It’s art and fashion celebrating culture. My beadwork is based on my French and Métis heritage. Iconic scrolling flower motifs incorporated into my women’s wear collections.
I hand bead the featured ‘inspirational piece’ of each collection. The beadwork from the inspirational piece is then printed onto the pieces in the collection.
I live along the beautiful South Saskatchewan River (SS River) near Batoche, Saskatchewan Canada, I was born and raised here on the homeland of the Métis people. The Métis people were known historically as the flower beadwork people. I aspire to continue that tradition.
Scarves are produced by an outside Etsy approved production partner. You are receiving a beautiful art to wear garment that is quality made.
Items ship from my home studio in St Louis Saskatchewan Canada along the beautiful South Saskatchewan River, near Batoche the homeland of the Métis .
