SWEATER CARE: Alpaca and wool fibers are naturally antimicrobial, helping to resist odors and bacteria, making them ideal for long-term use with minimal washing.
When needed, we recommend to hand wash your piece in cool water with a mild detergent and letting it soak. Use your hands to submerge and avoid wringing it. Rinse thoroughly, press out excess water, and lay it flat to dry, reshaping it as needed. Store folded in a cool, dry place and avoid hangers to prevent stretching.
We work with natural fiber blends ranging from alpaca, baby alpaca and wool. These fibers have characteristics of being waterproof and maintaining the body heat at a healthy temperature by allowing excess heat out but maintaining enough warmth in.
Knit by Hand
We partner with a small team of knitters to create our knitwear. These highly-skilled women knitters work from their homes scattered around the mountains of Imbabura, Ecuador.

I love everything about this sweater.. It's so easy to throw over stuff in replace of a jacket. It's very study, and doesn't make me feel like I need to baby it. It feels and looks like it's made for adventures 🤗 the customer service team is incredible as well. They helped me with an exchange. Can't recommend enough!

I was so excited for this sweater. I got it to represent my little family of 4 living by the ocean. Unfortunately my dolphins eyes are giving cartoon dead eyes with x's instead of circle eyes. It's silky I know, and I may learn how to knit just to fix it, but I do still love the quality, material, and time that all went into this piece. Plus of course what this company is about.

in looooove with minga everything 😍 been wearing this sweater non stop. Lots of compliments. Amazing staple to throw over anything. Great natural layer to keep warm and can wear on bareskin without feeling itchy. I usually wear medium in everything and this is the small/ medium. fits perfectly oversize

This sweater is sooooo cozy and cute. Love the wonky fun dolphins on the back. Perfect for my coastal life.
I got the M/L and it fits perfectly - I wanted a loose fit and it’s just that. I’m usually a L/XL so was concerned but it’s great!
I’ve gotten so many compliments on it! I bought the Alissa sweater right away because the quality is wonderful. Thank you!!

Love the sweater but the dolphins look a lot more like whales than dolphins.. it a lovely sweater tho! I just wish the motives were more what I saw at your website.

I went on the Creative Escape in Equador 2 years ago and saw up close the quality of your alpaca knit sweaters. I actually bought the dolphin sweater for my daughter, she is been a fan of dolphins and the color blue since she was four years old so I thought this would be the perfect gift, especially because there’s meaning behind it, she knows all about my trip. This sweater is very special to her, she loves the comfy, slouchy style and the softness. I might just have to buy one for myself.
I love all your products. Everything Minga sells is of the highest quality, and I love that every purchase helps small communities thrive. 💙🥰🫶

So soft and cozy, beautiful design, and perfectly oversized for me, the s/m with my 5'0 frame :)

The Dolphin sweater arrived promptly and eco-thoughtfully wrapped - a nice gesture!
This sweater was a gift for my daughter, who absolutely loves it. The knitted pattern is lovely and the yarn used is of great quality, producing a structured garment yet has a good drape and soft feel to it.
Kudos to your team and to your knitters!

so comfortable, not itchy and get tons of compliments on it. love love love it wears in perfectly and doesn’t pill terribly. can’t wait to keep and wear for years to come
Andrea S.5/5Verified
So cozy, not itchy, great quality. My new favorite sweater. The only downside is the sizing. I’m 5’9/170lbs. I purchased the M/L. It fits well and it’s not tight but it’s not oversized/loose and the sleeves come above my wrists. I wish there was L/XL so the taller larger body types could be included. I’m definitely keeping the sweater but it’s a different vibe than what I would prefer.

Coolest sweater ever. Don't buy it so i can be the only one with it :)
Jon A.5/5Verified
Absolutely beautiful! You can tell (in a great way) that this sweater was hand and not machine knit. Definitely a heirloom piece and not very itchy. So happy to have this sweater to wear!
Caitlin S.5/5Verified
I love this special sweater! The handmade high quality is apparent in this cozy creation. I love the shape of this style: relax-fit (not super oversized), perfect length, and not too bulky (like some thicker sweaters can be). The color is gorgeous and I love the dolphin friends on the back! So stoked Made by Minga has taken a dip into the apparel world!
Emily K.5/5Verified
Favorite sweater ever!! I did contemplate for a bit on the price but I am very happy that I bought it!!! It goes with everything!!
