MINI TIPI is a Canadian lifestyle brand that blends authentic Indigenous storytelling with sustainable, high-quality textiles.
Joining us are Trisha Pitura, Co-Founder and Creative Director, and Melanie Bernard, Co-Founder and Director of Sales and Marketing. Together, they’ve built a brand that’s not just about products—it’s about preserving culture, empowering artists, and fostering community.
In this episode, we explore how MINI TIPI uses design as a form of storytelling, weaving history into every thread without words. We’ll discuss their mission to address the lack of authentic Indigenous-designed textiles and how they collaborate with artists through meaningful partnerships and royalty programs.
We uncover their commitment to sustainability—from eco-friendly materials to waste reduction initiatives like the “Repurposed Threads” program and discuss how values like the Seventh Generation Principle shape their personal and professional decisions.
