The Tkaronto Collection
100% Cotton, 100% Sustainable, and 100% Made in "canada" Reintroducing the best selling Tkaronto Design.
TKARONTO
"Toronto" comes from the Mohawk word "Tkaronto" - which means where the tree's are standing in the water. The design anishinaabe kwe Chelsee created show the tree's as the Toronto skyline and the water reflection with the current city scape.
Each design has a QR code to pass on the translation and truly start the conversation on indigenous languages all while creating visibility for Indigenous people 365 days a year!
Of course! It's apparel, not regalia.
We rely on non Indigenous people wearing our designs. aaniin retail inc. is a 100% Indigenous owned retailer and the designer of the aaniin brand is Chelsee Pettit - an anishinaabe member of aamjiwnaang First Nations. Our mission for our company is to put money in the hands of Indigenous businesses, brands, and designers directly!
We are a for profit business. We believe in action focused impact and creating a sales channel for Indigenous businesses to thrive while reclaiming the Indigenous Economy through fashion and commerce. Supporting charity is great but it's better for the economy to put money into Indigenous businesses hands directly. The impact goes much further.
Some artists will seasonally create lines that support special initiatives but our first focus is making Indigenous founders money!
