The house

Fur that kept someone warm, cut again.

A collaboration with Cahill’s Further: heirloom coats that had become closets, remade as pillows, throws, bags.

“Fur is very important to me and my people,” he told Cahill’s. Vintage and heirloom pieces, decades on, still hold the animal that kept a person warm. Leaving them unused is its own kind of waste.

For Further he draws embroidery from Dene beadwork — his mother, his grandmother — onto coyote, beaver, mink, raccoon that Cahill’s craftspeople remake in Peterborough. Four Directions as a balance in life, nature, cultures, the elements. Pillows with moose-hide fringe and Loro Piana cashmere. Sling bags. The odd parka.

Those pieces are sold at Cahill’s, not from this cart. His own pillows and blankets from Enterprise sit in The house.
