When you purchase beadwork at LaMichinn Bijoux you're receiving an heirloom piece that is meticulously crafted and imbued with emotion & intention. Each piece is 100% one of a kind. It combines specific personal memories, sacred teachings, and modern culture; weaving together the beeswax-covered-threads of tradition, resilience, wisdom, unity, love, sadness, loss, and, hope. It reflects my profound connection to the land and Mother Nature. 

LaMichinn means "medicine" in the language of the Métis people. My artwork is my medicine and I am so honored to share it with you! **Anyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, race, culture, faith/spirituality, sexuality, gender, or, gender-identity is welcomed to purchase & wear any of my beadwork. It is not cultural appropriation to wear native-made beadwork.
