White & Black Mittens with Butterfly Appliqué & Black Fur

Handmade white leather mittens by Cree artist Gloria Stephen of Waskaganish. Each mitten is sewn from soft white cowhide leather and topped with a thick black beaver fur cuff.

A row of black leather fringe wraps around the cuff just below the fur, and butterfly appliqués in pink, black and white add a soft pop of colour against the white leather. The pair is joined by a braided cord finished with leather pom-poms, so they stay together when you slip them off. Fully lined in white for warmth.

Care
