xo, Emily + the Minga Team
In 2018, we launched our first bag collection after partnering with a small group of talented women in the highlands of Ecuador. We spent months living with this community to understand their story and craft. This season birthed our vision to create beautiful products through sustainable and traditional means.
What started with a few simple bags grew into a collection of thoughtful accessories. Over the years, we have expanded to work with a women-run family hat studio, a group of knitters, as well as a small team of leathersmiths.
Today, Minga is growing authentically alongside our artisan partners and global community of supporters. We are an ever-expanding community that constantly questions the “business” paradigms in order to remain true to ourselves and our Earth.
