Each Minga purchase contributes to our mission.

- 100+ artisans in Ecuador employed
- 60% women owned and operated enterprises in Ecuador financed

Why we do this?
We started Pay What You Can because we don't think slow, handmade goods should only be for people who can pay full price, and we don't think a "sale" has to mean a race to the bottom either. This is our middle path: full transparency about what your money supports, and the dignity of choosing for yourself.
A simple way to think about it: the more accessible the price, the more we're asking the rest of our community to help carry the difference. Every tier helps. There's no wrong choice here.
