Vanessa Aegirsdottir Co. is a Yukon-based, Indigenous-owned design house and creative studio founded by designer and professional artist Vanessa Aegirsdottir and her husband and co-founder, Tlingit trapper and land based educator George Bahm.
Together, Vanessa and George bring contemporary design into conversation with the landscapes, materials and ways of life that make the North distinct. Vanessa leads the company’s creative and design practice, while George brings generations of connection to the land and firsthand knowledge of northern wildlife, trapping and wild fur.
Their work has grown from a small Yukon studio into an award-winning design house recognized well beyond the North, while remaining firmly rooted in the place where it began.
Discover contemporary design and art shaped by the Yukon.
Vanessa Aegirsdottir Co. is best known for distinctive jewelry made with wild Yukon fur sourced from George and other Indigenous trappers across the territory. Each piece celebrates the extraordinary natural variation of northern species including lynx, wolverine, wolf, fox, beaver, marten, muskrat, squirrel and ermine, transforming a material deeply connected to life in the North into contemporary, wearable design.
The studio’s broader collections include original artwork and fine-art prints, textiles and other small-batch objects, alongside Vanessa’s growing practice with handmade earth- and mineral-pigment watercolours inspired by northern landscape and place.
Although our Whitehorse storefront has closed, visitors can still encounter Vanessa Aegirsdottir Co. through our online shop, select Yukon retailers, seasonal markets, and occasional artist-led events and experiences.
Watch for Winter Is the Palette, a seasonal creative experience inviting visitors to slow down, observe the unexpected colours of a Yukon winter, and explore them through painting with Vanessa’s handmade watercolours.
