The company offers handmade heritage products, including beaded jewellery, along with pottery and quill baskets. Winter accessories are a key part of this work. Handmade beaver fur mittens are designed to manage extreme cold without synthetic fillers. Fur ear muffs provide cold-weather comfort along with a respectful nod to the materials and designs passed down through generations. These pieces support both daily use and cultural appreciation.

“We never separate warmth from meaning,” said the Wolf Den spokesperson. “The designs come from specific regional knowledge. The fur comes from sources that respect Indigenous hunting practices. The stitching and lining are done by artists whose hands carry their own history. When someone wears these items, they carry more than warmth. They carry intention.”

Many of the artisans come from Northern communities where cold is part of life and not just a season. Every pair of beaver fur mittens starts with carefully softened hides and fur prepared using local methods. No adhesives are used, and no synthetic insoles are added. Each mitten is stitched by hand using techniques meant to last through daily wear. The result is a piece of wearable art that serves a function first but never forgets its origin.

Wolf Den continues to support Indigenous artists who work with natural materials during the winter season. Each pair of fur ear muffs carries a sense of place that comes from knowing how the material was gathered and how it will be worn. These items are not just warm. They are reminders that handmade objects still carry value beyond appearance.
