Across Turtle Island, fringe has long held meaning. Fringe can represent a connection to the natural world — mimicking grasses, flowing water, or animal movement. For makers and wearers, it was a way to express identity, care, and connection. Different Nations and regions developed distinct styles of fringe — short and thick, long and delicate, which help signify tribal affiliation or family lineage.

Fringe can help disguise movement when hunting by breaking up the visual outline of the foot. It also helped wick moisture away from the seams of the moccasins or mukluks, especially when made from absorbent materials like buckskin.

From powwow grounds to city sidewalks, fringe continues to adorn moccasins, mukluks and regalia — blending timeless design with modern versatility. It's worn in celebration, in motion, and in everyday life, inviting everyone to honor the movement and meaning behind it. Fringe is made to move with you.
