These handcrafted zippered wallets are made by Cree artist Winnie Trapper of Mistissini. Each one is bound in soft leather, finished with hand-stitched beadwork along the full edge, and topped with a colourful embroidered patch on the front. Compact and easy to carry, they are a bright, practical everyday accessory.

Open the zipper and you will find a fully lined interior with a row of card slots along each side, open compartments for bills and receipts, and a zippered pocket through the centre for coins or small essentials. The lining colour matches each style (see below). The back of each wallet is left plain, so the beaded edge and the patch tell the whole story.

Because the beadwork and patch placement are done by hand, each wallet will vary slightly from the next.
