Phony Face - Cancel Culture (Mia - Indian Princess) Large Embroidered Sew on Patch

A bold patch with a bold message.

The Indian Princess “Mia” was the long-time face of Land O’Lakes butter, first introduced in 1928 and re-imagined by Ojibwe artist Patrick DesJarlait in the 1950s. For nearly a century she appeared on grocery shelves across America, a symbol of mid-20th-century advertising art. But in 2020, after 92 years, Land O’Lakes quietly retired her image, placing Mia squarely in the cultural debates over branding, identity, and what some call cancel culture.

This exclusive Phony Face embroidered patch re-casts Mia with her iconic kneeling pose and a new sash that reads “Cancel Culture.” It’s equal parts tribute, satire, and commentary — a collectible piece that makes a statement whether on a jacket, vest, or displayed as art.
