15 Feathers was founded in 2024 as a collaboration between generations with the goal of artistic expression and financial stability through entrepreneurship. The company name is based on the Seven Generations Teachings and serves as a reminder that we are never alone.

Our lives have been impacted by the seven generations that came before us, and everything we do will impact the seven generations that follow. This places us at the center of 15 generations of connected lives, helping us to walk a good path by reminding us to be grateful for those who came before and conscious of those who will come after us.

In the same way that every feather in a bird’s wing is unique in shape and size, so too are we all unique. No single feather is more important than the others. In isolation a single feather may be battered and pushed by the wind. It is only by using our gifts and strengths in harmony with each other that we are able to soar to great heights together.

Whenever possible, all of our products are personally handmade using original photographs and designs. Because each woman brings her own skills, experience, and creativity to our business, each piece is unique to the person who designed and made it. When necessary, we do sometimes outsource for patterns or processes that we don’t have access to on our own. In such cases, credit will be posted on the applicable product page in the “details” section to notify customers that manufacture and/or design has been outsourced in some way.
