This one-of-a-kind coat, crafted by Sue Burnett, is a stunning tribute to Métis cultural artistry and traditional craftsmanship.

The floral beadwork and dyed porcupine quillwork embellishments celebrate traditional Métis artistry, while wool-trimmed gussets enhance the coat’s tailored silhouette and comfort.

This piece is not just a coat but a wearable work of art—a harmonious blend of historical accuracy and timeless style. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of heritage craftsmanship, the Métis Coat by Sue Burnett is a remarkable addition to the offerings at Willow Bend Trading Post.
