Earth Friendly Etsy: Mingus

I always carry a small zippered bag in my purse to hold small items like my chap stick, lotion and hair holders. I had been looking for one that is fabulous and also made sustainably. I found the lovely hemp purses from Mingus. Mingus creates handmade and Eco-friendly small zippered purses, fabulous bags and scarves. She handcrafts all of your her items in her home in Melbourne, Australia. She hand draws and paints all of the illustrations herself. All of Mingus’ handcrafted bags, purses and scarves are made from sustainable hemp, organic cotton and linen fabrics. Her designs are lovely and my favorites are the flip flap love birds bag and the matching love birds purse.

Mingus has been so lovely to offer ONE of my readers a hemp love birds purse.

    OMG that is so cute! Love the giveaway gift. OK, that said, my fav thing on the full site is the Flat Hemp Purse/Green on Beige/The Birds. I just love birds and the color combo here is great. Thanks!
