The Perfect Leather Poufs with MINDA:living

Can you believe the holidays are here? Where has the time gone?! If you’re anything like me, then you’ve probably still got some shopping to do. I had every intention of getting it all done by Thanksgiving, but now I’ll just plan to get it all done by Christmas – totally doable, right? Ha! While you’re searching for the perfect gifts for your loved ones, I want to share with you an amazing company that I have had the great pleasure to work with over the past few weeks. I have been on the hunt for a pair of leather poufs to add to our living room, and I struck gold with these leather cubes from MINDA:living!

The Leather Cube

SMALL CUBE

Now that we are expecting our first child, I have started to look at the way I shop in a different way. When I can, I love to support businesses working hard to make a positive impact on the world we share. The collections you will find at MINDA:living are crafted by artisan hands in developing countries, from sustainably sourced materials.

At MINDA, they believe in:

ethical production
artisan empowerment
limiting impact on the earth
maximizing impact on the people and communities they touch.

How can you not feel good about supporting a business whose goals aim to make the world a better place? It certainly doesn’t hurt that their products are beautiful and of very high quality.

The Details

The SMALL CUBES are handcrafted by their artisan team in Morocco using natural vegetable tanned leather. All of their leather is sustainably sourced as a by-product from a local Moroccan farm, and processed using only natural plant tanning materials. That’s right – no chemicals or synthetics, which are harmful to the environment, are used in tanning their leather. In order to achieve the leather shade options, the leather is then nourished with a natural coconut oil and beeswax blend to ensure there won’t be any drying or cracking. After their master craftsmen fabricate the leather poufs, they are then filled with a fiber that is manufactured using recovered plastic remnants.

See what I mean? Quality and beauty!

These leather cubes aren’t the only beauties you’ll find at MINDA:living. You’ll also find a beautiful selection of throw blankets, pillows, and candles. So many great gift ideas for the holidays! Here are a few of the items on my wish list this year.
