Brazilian Regions – The State Of Minas Gerais

This region in the southeast of Brazil is known for colonial-era towns dating back to the 18th century gold rush. Cobblestone streets, ornate mansions and baroque style architecture, creates a unique landscape in this special region of Brazil.

Minas, as it is commonly called by Brazilians, is one of the richest Brazilian states in cultural traditions and in a variety of raw materials. The diversity of the state is also present in the uniqueness of its crafts.

Raw materials such as ceramics, wood, glass, clay, stones and vegetable fibers give life to countless handcrafts with diverse characteristics depending on which region of the state the pieces are produced. This is due to the fact that Minas Gerais is a very large state, being larger than the whole country of Spain, can you imagine?!

We have a partnership with two suppliers from Minas Gerais:

 

Camargo Markiori, from the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais.
