Jacket

Red Seminole Jacket

This vibrant red jacket represents the rich cultural heritage of Florida's Seminole people, whose traditions have deep roots in the region where Stuart developed. The hand-crafted construction and bold color reflect the distinctive artistry of Seminole clothing, a living tradition that connects the Treasure Coast to the broader story of Florida's Indigenous communities.
