Who We Are

Pre&Peri was created by Caitlin Wemigwans, an Anishinaabe woman who grew up in Northern Ontario, Canada with few traditional teachings. Caitlin’s motifs are her interpretations and expressions of her ongoing search for connections with her heritage told through an urban Indigenous lens. She aims to celebrate the rediscovery of past traditions that have been lost to many First Nations.

Caitlin's artwork is featured on classic streetwear apparel and accessories which are intended for everyone to wear and enjoy, regardless of their background.

We are based in Tkaronto (Toronto, Ontario) where most of our products are made, even the fabric! While Pre&Peri is primarily an online store, you can find us at various pop-up events in the Greater Toronto Area.
