At Aboriginal Design Wear, every piece we create tells a story — a celebration of tradition, identity, and artistry. Our ribbon pants are no exception. Handcrafted with care by Indigenous artists, our ribbon pants honor the deep cultural roots of powwow regalia while offering a fresh, modern expression of Indigenous pride.

What Are Ribbon Pants?

Ribbon pants are a beautiful adaptation of traditional Indigenous clothing. Much like the well-known ribbon skirts, ribbon pants are decorated with vibrant ribbons that symbolize resilience, strength, and connection to Indigenous identity. While ribbon skirts have been worn by Indigenous women for centuries, ribbon pants offer a comfortable and contemporary option for those looking to express their heritage in new and powerful ways.

At Aboriginal Design Wear, each pair of ribbon pants is handmade by our talented team, including Shirley and Karen, who carefully sew each ribbon with meaning and intention. No two pairs are ever exactly the same — every creation is a unique work of art.

The Meaning Behind the Ribbons

In Indigenous culture, ribbons represent many important themes: the sacredness of life, the beauty of creation, and the strength of community. Different colors can carry specific meanings, such as red for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls movement, blue for water, or green for growth and renewal. When you wear a pair of Indigenous-made ribbon pants, you're wearing a piece of living culture, honoring generations past, present, and future.

Ribbon Pants in Powwow Regalia and Everyday Wear

Today, ribbon pants are worn not only as part of powwow regalia but also as everyday clothing. They're perfect for cultural events, ceremonies, or simply making a statement of pride in your heritage.
