Outside of Oaxaca City, past vast swaths of desert and agave fields, is the family workshop where many of our cotton throws, tea towels, scarves, and runners are woven. We’ve been working with our partners here since before we really knew what MINNA was going to be. This is one of our most collaborative and special partnerships.
