November marks Native Heritage Month, and a recent shopping guide from the fashion outlet behind the source text encourages readers to use the occasion to support Indigenous designers and honor the cultures and traditions of North America’s Indigenous communities. The guide highlights 12 brands working across fashion, jewelry and beauty.

Clothing from Indigenous designers

According to the source, Indigenous craftsmanship now shows up in many modern fashion categories. Among the pieces named is a graphic cardigan sweater by Cree designer Justin Jacob Louis, which was recently worn by Hudson Williams. The guide also points to a graphic wrap top by Pamela Baker, who is Tlingit, Haida and Squamish, as well as a refined pleated skirt by Anishinaabe designer Lesley Hampton, suggested as a match for the top.

Jewelry and accessories

In jewelry, the roundup features a striking bolo necklace by Jamie Okuma, described as the only Indigenous designer in the CFDA. It also names shapely earrings from emerging labels Copper Canoe Woman and Sacrd Thndr, pointing to a newer generation of Native-owned businesses.

Beauty picks

For beauty shoppers, the guide notes a range of products including lipsticks, bronzers and highlighters. The Native-founded brands it mentions are Cheekbone Beauty and Prados Beauty.

A start on holiday shopping

The article frames the month as a good moment to begin holiday shopping, noting that whatever is on a shopper’s wish list, an Indigenous label exists to support. While it says supporting Indigenous art is worthwhile year-round, it presents November as an especially fitting time to do so.

The full list of 12 brands is presented as a shoppable selection in the original piece. The details above reflect only the brands and products named in the introductory text from the source outlet.
