Across Turtle Island, there is a creative explosion happening in the areas of the arts, technology, small businesses, activism, writers, musicians and innovators.  N8V Couture clothing is one such upstart merging savvy Native artists and clothing.

N8V Couture clothing was started by Andy Sarcia-Peltier (Turtle Mountain). From his Kick Starter page he describes his company as:

“N8V Couture is not only a brand. It’s a movement to inspire dialogue, and promote self-identification and self-determination through the use of Cultural and Historically Relevant Native American Clothing. Here at N8V Couture we are challenging the stereotypes and re-imagining what it means to produce “Native American Clothing.”

At N8V Couture we understand how important Art is to Culture. With that being said, we have teamed up with Well Known Native American artists, and utilized Traditional Language, Designs, Colors, and Teachings to provide our customers with a Canvas, Covered with a Story, Disguised as a piece of Stylish Clothing.”

To expand his business, Andy recently launched a Kick Starter campaign.
