Metis Coat by Sue Burnett
This one-of-a-kind coat, crafted by Sue Burnett, is a stunning tribute to Métis cultural artistry and traditional craftsmanship. Made from luxurious brain-tanned buckskin, it is both soft and durable, embodying centuries of Indigenous tanning practices. The coat is accented with deep red wine-colored wool trim along the sleeves, lapels, and placket, evoking the signature style of Métis garments from the fur trade era.
A handcrafted Métis-style sash cinches the waist, adding both function and an authentic historical touch. Inside, the coat is lined with vintage-design cotton fabric in a matching wine hue, adorned with a delicate floral motif that complements its exterior. 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.
