About Shimmer by Shakota

Shimmer by Shakota is an Indigenous beadwork and cultural workshop brand rooted in ancestral knowledge, creative expression, and community connection.

Founded by Justine "Shakota" Wallace, this work is inspired by lineage — carrying forward the teachings, resilience, and artistry passed down through generations. What began as a personal practice has grown into a space where culture is not only preserved, but lived, worn, and shared.

Each piece is handcrafted with intention. No mass production, no shortcuts — just time, care, and respect for the process. Designs are inspired by florals, land, movement, and the natural world, reflecting both softness and strength.

Authentically Indigenous — from the roots to the bloom.
Sourced, created, and supported within Indigenous community.

Shimmer by Shakota is more than jewellery.

It is a space for reconnection — to culture, to creativity, and to self. Through beading workshops and shared teachings, participants are invited to learn, create, and carry their own stories forward.

This work honours where we come from, while making space for where we are going.

From the roots to the bloom.
