At LaMichinn Bijoux, our art celebrates Mother Earth & her gifts.
Wije’wi/SKODENUtilizing every part of an animal honors its spirit by ensuring nothing is wasted. This is our way, the traditional way, of showing gratitude by acknowledging each individual animal’s ultimate sacrifice and weaving its essence into our artwork.
In the fashion industry, this practice of “up-cycling” could transform the environment by repurposing discarded materials into unique, sustainable designs, reducing landfill waste and the demand for resource-intensive production. By embracing upcycling, fashion could shift from an exploitative model to a circular economy—significantly cutting pollution & preserving natural resources for future generations.Wela’lin/Maarsi/ᑭᓇᓈᐢᑯᒥᑎᐣ/Thank you/Ahéhee/Mvto!
