Handsewn is a word used to denote a variety of moccasin shoes that are sewn by hand, and which are a typically American combination of European and Native American styles. Maine has a relatively large handsewn shoe industry.
Handsewn shoes are made of leather or suede (or, in the case of some really terrible designs, denim) and feature moccasin stitching.
