The Domestic Abuse Design Shoe




I wanted to take a minute to introduce one of our new designs, called Strong Sisters. A portion of the sale of this shoe will be going directly back into native communities to shelters for women who are victims of DV, Domestic Abuse. This design was created specially for this 'cause' to remind us of the sisters all over Indian country who have been victims of physical, sexual, emotional and mental abuse. This picture doesn't truly do it justice, to show the beautiful colors in this beadwork. The dark beads are metallic purple iris cut beads combined with transparent pinks, and mauves, with a hint of turquoise. The beautiful dark purple, blue, and mauves in this design no longer will remind us of the purple bruises, pink swollen eyes from crying, and the colors of darkness.. but will be something beautiful to remind us of our sisters who are suffering and do our part to help give them hope and protection. If you know of a shelter that would like to benefit from this program please have them contact me here. Have a blessed day!
