Hibernation Mode

After the holidays, I always go deep into hibernation mode. And I mean, deep.

In my defence, this is what humans have done for millennia. Winter rhythms (and weather) have traditionally signalled a time of rest and repose, with family and friends gathering around the hearth to share stories. In cold weather, people used to turn to indoor pursuits, storing up energy till Spring when the world resumed its work and busy pace. In the winter months, give me:

Soft textiles and warm colours

Candles and firelight

Late mornings and early bedtimes

Bread and cheese and soups and stews

Thick sweaters and cozy details

Long novels and even longer naps Lucky for me, Laurentian Chief has designed a fur-trimmed mukluk that captures the spirit of this old-world winter warmth. It’s a moccasin-style ankle boot that can be worn indoors as a traditional house shoe, or outside for the occasional frosty venture.

Wrapped in luxuriant genuine rabbit fur, these dark tan suede mukluks enfold your feet in pure comfort, beginning with the fleece interior and cushy Orlon insole. Laurentian Chief mukluks are crafted in Canada by skilled artisans, hand-stitched and hand- beaded with a beautiful leaf design. A band of traditional woven braiding encircles the ankle, with a folded suede tongue at the cuff and piping around the vamp. The relaxed fit and feel of these moccasin-inspired mukluks exactly suits my sleepy winter vibe. Like all hibernating creatures, however, I do occasionally emerge from my den to forage for snacks and online deliveries! Fortunately, the mukluks have a durable gum sole, so stepping outside isn’t a problem. In fact, with a little leather care, they can transition from indoor shoes to outdoor ankle boots in gentler, less snowy conditions. Women’s Dark Tan Rabbit Fur Mukluks can be conveniently ordered online and sent directly to your own personal hibernation den. Available in Women’s sizes 5-10.
