Saila's Kuspuk - Traditional Inuit Garment

Saila's dad is an Inuit guide in Canada's north.  He led an expedition in the Yukon, and brought back for Saila this kuspuk, a garment traditional to Inuit in the Western Arctic.  Saila was delighted with her gift!

• A kuspuk is often worn over winter clothing, or it can be worn in the summer over a light layer of clothing to protect against the sun and bugs.

• This doll garment is sized to fit over Saila's starter outfit, including her polar fleece vest, but she can also wear it over just a tshirt and jeans.

• The garment is fully lined.  Traditionally a kuspuk is just pulled on over the head.  We have added a Velcro opening in the back to make it easier to put on the doll.

• The floral print is reminiscent of the Purple Saxifrage and yellow Arctic Draba flowers that bloom on the Arctic tundra during the brief summer months.
• The included journal pages tell the history and traditions of the kuspuk.  It is also known as a qaspeq which translates to "cloth over parka".

• Shown on KS1 Saila doll dressed in her starter outfit, including her polar fleece vest underneath her kuspuk.
