Kuei , Bonjour, Hello
Since 2020, La Montagnaise has been creating beadwork inspired by her roots. Each bead used with intention and purpose is inspired by her mixed Innu/Montagnais and French-Canadian heritage. This one-woman run and owned business is named after La Montagnaise’s Nokum (great-grandmother) who expressed much pride in being Montagnaise. With every creation being entirely unique in the name of slow fashion, you can be sure that every piece is different and distinctive to
La Montagnaise’s journey.

Tshinashkumitin, Merci, Thank you
Through your support, you are encouraging a small beading business. Every act of love and purchase makes the biggest difference. Made by hand, it is vital to remember that this art is not perfect. Once the process is complete, each piece is made from start to finish and becomes perfectly imperfect.
