Christal Duncan and Philipp Laraque meeting about designing Miina Goods

Every Miina piece starts with a relationship. 

When you give a Miina gift, you’re giving something whose whole history we can tell you: who cut the leather, where it came from, and the hands that stitched it. 

We work with a small circle of production partners in the Dominican Republic, and we’ve built these relationships over years, not purchase orders. 

Since 2017, we’ve designed and produced alongside the same two partners. We know every step of the process because we’re part of every step.

Made by People We Know

Our Production Partners

Jose Dilone

Jose has been with us from the beginning. 

When Miina Goods was still an idea and a handful of sketches, Jose was the one who helped turn those sketches into something you could hold. 

Our design process with Jose goes back and forth. We bring an idea, he brings what years at the workbench have taught him, and we test, adjust and refine together until the piece is right. Many of the details our clients love started as one of Jose’s “what if we tried…” moments.

Philipp Laraque, Ibex Dominicana

Philipp leads Ibex Dominicana, our production partner since 2017. Ibex brings the skill and structure that let us take on corporate orders while keeping the care of small-scale work. With Philipp we plan each production run from start to finish: we choose materials, sample, approve, then produce. Because we’ve worked together so long, we can take on custom requests, private labelling and tight timelines with confidence, and you get the same quality in every piece.
