The concept

“Maria Kabaça is a celebration of the Minho woman, also a weaver, embroiderer and creator of clothes and children between threads and stitches (embroidering fabrics with flowers and other decorative charms, so close to those who could not afford to buy them).

The idea

Maria Kabaça was founded in 2010 by Sónia Rodrigues, a Social Educator from Fontão, Ponte de Lima. The idea consists of handicrafts inspired by Minho customs, more specifically their costumes and embroidery.
Maria and Manel are a recurring presence on their gourds, a couple as typical as the outfits they always wear. Sónia started painting them on a training course and, from then on, the idea was a success. More than ten years later, the brand is already a success, not only nationally, but also internationally.

The collection

To pay homage to this successful idea, LethesHome launched a collection whose name is quite self-explanatory: Maria Kabaça
From bed linens, towels and cloths to the usual rugs and cushions (among others), this collection celebrates the people of Minho and their traditions, just as its creator envisioned.
