Our philosophy is founded on 4 ideals:
Craftsmanship & Intentionality
We are advancing what Indigenous design can be - pushing the envelope and past preconceptions with an obsession with craftsmanship and intentionality in everything. Every decision, from stitching to signage, is thoughtful and deliberate.
Luxury with Integrity
We are a Design House centered in heritage and sustainability, not trend-chasing. We use natural and unique materials (leathers, woods) and high quality metals. Our aesthetic fuses tradition and minimalism—no clutter. We are slow fashion.
Cultural Continuity through Language
Each product is part of a language learning journey—for us, and by extension, you. Every item is named in Dane-zaa Zaage. Language and design are tools of reclamation, not just decoration. You are an integral part of the act of preserving something real.
Products that Endure
Made to be handed down, repaired, used —not thrown away. Our pieces focus on longevity—physically and spiritually. Ohtisii creates timeless design with embedded stories. Beautiful, yes—but also built for real life.
