This beautiful Metis Sash bracelet has been created using 100% Alpaca wool and woven in the "L'Assomption" pattern of the Courier De Boise or the Metis of French descent. The different fur trading companies in Canada recruited their people from different ethnic groups and the Courier De Boise worked independantly or in minor partnerships with the Hudson's Bay Company or the Northwest Company and were mostly of French/Metis descent. They were also know as "Voyageurs". The Metis people are recognized as a distinct Aboriginal group here in Canada with our own culture, language (Mechif) and rights.

This bracelet has been sized to fit wrists between 6 and 8 inches around using the extender. The sash part is 6 inches long. I have added an antique silver finished pewter Metis Infinity Symbol.
Comes gift boxed.

I process orders as they are purchased, so, depending on the size of my work que (how many orders ahead of yours) it can take me between 2 days to 2 weeks to create and ship your piece to you. I thank you in advance for your understanding of what truly handmade means and I appreciate your business.
