Sealskin, gifts, art and Inuktitut learning, curated by an Inuk maker born in Iqaluit.

About

Sewn in Ottawa, rooted in family

“I learned at my grandmother Mary Pitseolak’s side.”

Stitched North is owned and run by Sheila Pitseolak, an Inuk artisan based in Ottawa. Every hand-sewn piece is made to order by Sheila — sealskin mitts, hunter hats, earrings — with the care and patience that come from learning beside her grandmother.

The brand is quiet, premium, and personal: real materials, real stitch work, and gifts that mean something to the people who receive them.
