Mingei World Arts is the best gift shop in America. The owners created this shop from their own passion about the world and its people. The owners care about the people from whom they buy product; they care about their customers; they support and help develop local communities both in Atlanta and abroad; they nurture new artists; they are open to new ideas.

The shop is filled with amazing one of a kind gift items from jewelry to paintings to fit every budget and every personality....These items reveal a hands- on touch from the several-each-year buying trips done by the owners. The owners bring back treasures which you would never see in the Merchandise Mart or in a wholesale catalog or at World Market--treasures from Luang Prabang, Chiang Mai, Beijing, Rajastan, Oaxaca, and Indonesia. Bags from Guatemala, stools from Africa, kimonos from Japan. Mingei's one-of-a-kind items are the things you'll want to buy!

Unlike many shops where imported goods are sold, Mingei World Arts' wares are hand-picked by the owners who travel several times a year. I always love hearing stories of their travels and finding out more about the cultural history of the items in the store. They are also careful to promote fair trade practices. Shopping at Mingei always makes the world feel smaller.
