Strawberry Scarves | $24.00

Born in the North is a Canadian company run by brothers Greg and Chris Mitchell. Drawing inspiration from their Mi’kmaq heritage and music exploration, these uniquely designed Strawberry scarves are forever and  come in a variety of colours to choose from.

“We would always see the floral scarves at every pow wow and so many friends would always have multiple colours so we decided to create a version for the scene that was made by Indigenous artists to offer something with more cultural significance using the strawberry rather than the imported floral designs that are available,” Greg Mitchell tells RANGE.
