Southcentre Mall

Allow us to introduce you to Manitobah, a true champion of Indigenous artists and their remarkable work. Within their shop, you will find a dedicated space called the Indigenous Market, which serves as a platform for local Indigenous artists to showcase and sell their creations. The Indigenous Market is a gateway for Indigenous artists to share their stories and products with customers from around the world. With each unique Indigenous-made product sold through the Indigenous Market, 100% of the profits go back to the artists themselves.

This way, every purchase made not only supports Indigenous entrepreneurship but also directly uplifts the talented individuals behind each creation. By shopping at Manitobah’s Indigenous Market, you become part of a movement that empowers Indigenous artists and preserves their cultural heritage.

Each product you’ll find at Manitobah carries a story worth telling—tales of tradition, resilience, and the artistic brilliance of Indigenous communities. We invite you to explore their diverse collection, immerse yourself in the beauty of their creations, and discover the profound connection between art and culture.

We are also thrilled to announce the upcoming arrival of a fantastic new addition to our mall this June – Bäre Activewear, a family-owned Indigenous business that specializes in high-quality activewear. If you’re looking to support Indigenous entrepreneurs while embracing comfort and style, you won’t want to miss this!

Bäre Activewear brings a unique offering to the world of fitness apparel with its signature Naked Feel fabric. Designed specifically for low-impact and low-friction activities like yoga, this innovative fabric provides an unparalleled experience. When you slip into Bäre Activewear, you’ll immediately notice the softness, smoothness, and freedom it offers, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your practice and focus on what truly matters – your well-being.

Working closely with BIPOC talents such as models, photographers, consultants, and affiliates, the Bäre Activewear platform also showcases their unique stories and experiences.
