Ohchi’ta’ (foot) moccasins

Roland Bastien decided to start his own factory in 1972, which he based in Wendake. He was inspired by the expertise and passion Maurice Bastien had for making snowshoes and moccasins. Maurice Bastien drew inspiration from the Wendat Marguerite Lawinonkie Vincent, a woman who established a thriving shop of shoes, mittens, snowshoes, and toboggans as early as 1830! Roland Bastien’s successful company specializes in manufacturing products worthy of his heritage, including amazing moccasins using traditional techniques. In 2022, Jason Picard-Binet, a proud member of the Huron-Wendat Nation, took over the leadership, and is continuing the work carried out by the Bastien family while bringing a modern twist to it.

Your little one won’t want to ever take off these amazing moccasins! You’ll love the hand sewn colourful beads chosen depending on the craftsperson’s inspiration, as well as the laced bow.

• Leather sourced from Quebec cattle
