Mélanie Bernard

Trisha Pitura and Mélanie Bernard are the founders of MINI TIPI, a brand of blankets and accessories for adults and children. Their designs reflect their Indigenous heritage, and are designed and produced in Quebec. MINI TIPI sells goods via e-commerce in addition to craft markets and select retailers in Ontario and Quebec. Collaborating with Indigenous artists has allowed MINI TIPI to set themselves apart supporting artists and celebrating culture. It is extremely important to MINI TIPI to give back to the community through donations to local food banks and Indigenous women crisis centers and by sharing products with those in need.
