Social impact + Transparency
{Sustainability Award on Social Impact - Vogue Brasil -2015} {Brazil Design Award 2016}
Catarina Mina's bags are about people - inside every crocheted piece is a 'thank you' card, signed by the artisan who made the piece weaving both their love and personal stories into each item.
It also comes with a QR code where you can look up more about the history of the artisan who made it.
The ethical production of the pieces is imperative when looking at the production chain in order to guarantee fair and safe working conditions in all stages.
While promoting transparency and respect for everyone involved in the process and seeking to contribute to a sustainable social development. Inside each bag there is a QR Codes on your purchase and learn more about the history of the artisans and the journey the raw materials took to become the fashion piece it is today.
There we also invite you to learn more about our #TransparencyProject.This initiative brought the clients closer to the business, which was leading a revolution in sustainable practices and for which it was awarded in 2015 the Vogue Brasil/Ecoera prize and in 2016 the 3M Brasil Design Award.
