Mini Tipi

MINI TIPI is a Canadian women-owned company that creates small batch quality goods for your home and family. MINI TIPI was founded in 2016 by Trisha Pitura and Mélanie Bernard.

Our designs are inspired not only by our lifestyles, but also by our proud Canadian and Indigenous heritage to develop a truly unique line of goods that are as practical and useful as they are stylish and beautifully made. All our products are designed, cut and sewn in Quebec, Canada.

Trisha Pitura is originally from Sudbury, Ontario and is a member of Nipissing First Nation. She spent all her summers in Dokis First Nation and currently resides in Gatineau, Québec with her three children and husband.

Mélanie Bernard was born and raised in Québec City now residing in Gatineau with her family. She is a teacher by profession, and stayed home to raise her two girls. Collaborating with Indigenous artists has allowed MINI TIPI to set themselves apart supporting artists and celebrating culture. It is extremely important to MINI TIPI to give back to the community through donations to local food banks and Indigenous women crisis centers, and sharing products to those in need.
