Only 6 Preorders Available for 2026
Bold, intentional, and deeply personal, the Beaded Birkin 25 by Stevens & Snyder redefines the boundaries of wearable art. The first Beaded Birkin debuted at the 2024 SWAIA Indian Market, where it was awarded a First Place ribbon in the Beadwork/Quillwork category. Building on that momentum, four new Beaded Birkins were unveiled on the runway at SWAIA Native Fashion Week in May 2025, marking a powerful evolution in Indigenous fashion and contemporary luxury.
Each Beaded Birkin is entirely hand-beaded and made to order, honoring ancestral craftsmanship while asserting Indigenous presence within couture and conceptual fashion spaces.

24K gold seed beads or palladium (silver) beads
