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".
