More about Made by Minga
Made by Minga Bucket Hats are handmade by a women’s artisan group living in the cloudforest of Intag, Ecuador. These women use an ancient crafting technique to create products from cabuya, a native agave fiber. Each Minga bucket hat takes days of careful concentration and hard work to create. After harvesting, preparing and dying the cabuya, the women hand spin the thread and work from one of a kind designs to crochet each hat. Artisans have been using cabuya for thousands of years, but with the introduction of plastics, its need has slowly decreased. Their artisan partners represent some of the last communities still using this age-old method.
Made by Minga bucket hats are all one-of-a-kind. This means that no two are exactly alike and almost all contain irregularities from size to styles to color. Please allow for slight imperfections as this is what adds to the unique character of each hat.
