You may have spotted Paula Minnis’ vintage textile napkins around town at Madison, Cabana, Forty Five Ten or the Dallas Flea. Her collection called GAIA, meaning goddess of the earth, is handmade locally by employing woman in need. Paula’s goal is to pay them a living wage while training them, to ultimately to guide them into financial independence. GAIA has grown into a collection of napkin rings, vintage fabric wrapped bangles and braided bracelets and zippered pouches.
