About |
Mingus Designs has been creating distinctive clothing and accessories since 2007. Each Mingus piece is handmade by Dear Songsuwan in her small studio in Melbourne, Australia. Mingus Designs sources eco-friendly, recycled and sustainable materials and uses certified fair-trade organisations whenever it they can be found.
The Mingus eco accessories range includes recycled leather brooches, recycled vinyl brooches, hemp purses, hemp and organic cotton bags, and organic cotton scarves. These products feature original hand illustrated designs by Dear. Mingus' recycled brooches are hand cut without the use of stencils or stamps for a truly unique brooch every time. Each bag, purse and scarf is hand cut and sewn and features a hand screen printed Mingus illustration.
Mingus' organic clothing range features non sweat-shop organic cotton T-shirts, Hoodies and Jumpers from the American Apparel Sustainable Edition range, No Sweat Apparels Organic range and Continental Clothing's Earth Positive apparel. Each piece features an original Mingus illustrated design that is hand screen printed.
