About Catarina Mina

We are from Ceará. We are Brazilians. We make bags, all handmade. We´re are souls of crochet and thinking. We are a brand already 12 years on the road, on a work which sometimes is swimming against the tide. Nowadays we are producing on three mais settings: Fortaleza, capital of Ceará; Itaitinga, 40 km from the capital and in Aracatiaçu, district of Sobral, a city on the North of Ceará. The idea of a different fashion has always amazed us. A kind of fashion which could bring us more questions than answers. A product which comes with a question mark. Who designed it, made it, reviewed it, crafted your bag before it got to your hands? And many other questions. Our path to the future has got no given answers, but instead, built, in-process ones. Our path to the future gives us the will to deal with different materials, to rethink the language created through the bags. It is also to get together and work with more artisans in Itaitinga, Aracatiaçu, Fortaleza and wherever we can.Read their story
