Ribbon Skirt – Autumn Fern Pattern

Handmade with care, this traditional Cree ribbon skirt celebrates the beauty of nature and cultural identity. The fabric features a warm beige background adorned with red and green fern leaves — reminiscent of the northern forests in autumn.

Three horizontal ribbon bands accent the lower part of the skirt, combining soft turquoise, gold, and deep burgundy tones that represent balance, strength, and connection to the land. The gathered elastic waistband provides comfort and flexibility, making it easy to wear for ceremonies, gatherings, or everyday expression.
