The Amakehs Baseball Hat is a timeless, adjustable design crafted from 100% cotton for effortless comfort and style. Featuring 12th-generation Passamaquoddy basket maker Gabriel Frey's striking double curve design on the front, this piece pays homage to his family's rich ash basket weaving traditions, blending heritage with everyday wear.About the Art"For many years my main source of inspiration has been my wife, Suzanne. Both artistically and in life, she has an impeccable and fearless sense of fashion, something that has never been a part of my makeup. She not only has a relationship with color that can only be described as passionate, but she also has a deep commitment to supporting Indigenous artists and fashion. Whenever I question a design choice, she is my guiding star. So, when I was approached by Manitobah to design woven footwear for spring/summer 2025, I naturally asked my wife what kind of shoes she wished Manitobah made.The Gabriel Frey collection is the result of her answer. Footwear that is designed to be elegant while also being practical, to be comfortable while also expressing love of color and the natural world, to be an expression of Indigenous values while also looking fierce out on the town. Weaving in leather is not dissimilar to weaving black ash. Each one of these designs employ traditional weaving techniques and patterns. The color schemes are meant to emulate the colors of the basket purses I create with black ash and natural dyes.

As a young Métis entrepreneur, Sean McCormick began Manitobah Mukluks with the vision of creating a successful company while benefiting his community. Today we continue that vision on a larger scale, as a global brand making a positive impact in Indigenous communities across North America.Sean McCormick spent much of his childhood in northern Manitoba and started selling leather and fur while still in high school. In 1990, he established a trading post where Indigenous artisans traded handmade mukluks and moccasins for tanned leather, skins and furs. During this time, Sean saw an even greater opportunity to connect members of his community to the growing demand for authentic Indigenous footwear. In 1996, after completing the Manitoba Aboriginal Youth Entrepreneurship Training Program, Sean created the business plan and framework that would become Manitobah. In 2008, Manitobah began global operations and today it is one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies, with employees and customers worldwide. Despite the rapid success and growth of the brand, Manitobah remains connected to its roots and continues to provide authentic, Indigenous-designed products that return value to Indigenous communities. Manitobah became a certified B Corporation in 2023, a designation that demonstrates a business meets high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.
