Ethically Made Wool Rugs

MINNA Goods' Traditionally Crafted Wool Rugs are Chic and Authentic

— August 31, 2020 — Social Good
MINNA Goods is known for its expertly crafted wool rugs. The designs are chic and contemporary, drawing the eye with geometry and playful use of color. Quite versatile, consumers can place the pieces on the floor or on their walls. The brand uses sustainable and naturally sourced materials. Understanding the need for being socially responsible as a business, the brand places immense emphasis on ethical manufacturing techniques, as well.

MINNA Goods' traditionally crafted wool rugs are made by hand all around the world. This includes countries like Peru, Mexico, and Guatemala. The brand channels historic methods of production within these communities—pedal loom weaving, for example—as a way to share and preserve these techniques. In addition, MINNA Goods supports social business by "working with family-run workshops and independently-run cooperatives where the artisans set their own wages and collaborate in the process."
