Minnetonka Women's Ziigwan Waabigwan Moc

The Minnetonka x Lucie Skjefte Ziigwan Waabigwan Moc is our first-ever Indigenous beaded moc collaboration with Red Lake Nation Anishinaabe designer, Lucie Skjefte.

The Ziigwan Waabigwan, which translates to "Spring Flower" in Ojibwemowin, features a suede upper material and a rubber sole. The toe is whipstitched, adding a unique and traditional touch.

This moccasin boasts a pull-on closure type and is water-resistant, making it a versatile and practical choice for various occasions and weather conditions.

The suede upper material not only provides a soft and supple feel but also adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the shoe. The rubber sole ensures durability and traction, allowing for comfortable wear during daily activities or outdoor adventures.

Designed in partnership with Lucie Skjefte, a talented Anishinaabe designer from the Red Lake Nation, the Minnetonka x Lucie Skjefte Ziigwan Waabigwan Moc celebrates the rich cultural heritage and artistry of the Indigenous community.

The beaded design on the moccasin is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its creation. Each pair is a unique piece of art, showcasing the vibrant colors and intricate patterns that are so deeply rooted in Anishinaabe tradition.

By collaborating with Lucie Skjefte, Minnetonka aims to amplify the voices and stories of Indigenous artists, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for their cultural practices and artistic expressions.

The Ziigwan Waabigwan moc is not just a fashionable footwear option but a symbol of the enduring legacy of the Anishinaabe people. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating Indigenous art, design, and narratives.

Whether you're drawn to the moccasin's timeless appeal, its water-resistant properties, or its deep cultural significance, the Minnetonka x Lucie Skjefte Ziigwan Waabigwan Moc offers a unique and meaningful addition to your wardrobe.
