Morning Star Woman

Founded by Kristen Upham, a proud member of the Blackfeet Nation and an industry leader with over a decade of experience in global business development helping thousands of Brands achieve their goals.  Our handbags honor the past while embracing the future.

Each piece is a reflection of Indigenous Futurism—a bridge between ancestral artistry and contemporary elegance. Inspired by Blackfeet traditions of intricate beadwork and storytelling, our designs feature the highest quality beads, meticulously placed to create stunning, heirloom-worthy pieces.

At the heart of our brand is a commitment to sustainable luxury. We take preowned designer handbags and give them new life—carefully refurbishing, cleaning, and restoring them before enhancing each piece with intricate hand-beaded designs. This process not only preserves the beauty of these timeless bags but also redefines luxury through sustainability, craftsmanship, and cultural storytelling.

More than just accessories, these handbags are a testament to resilience, artistry, and environmental responsibility. By blending tradition with innovation, we create pieces that honor the past while shaping the future—where every bag tells a story meant to be carried for generations.
