Hayworth soccer balls are designed in Austin, Texas, and made by hand in Monguí, an Andean village with a long tradition of ball-making. The work is manual, deliberate, and shaped by continuity rather than scale.

Monguí sits more than ten thousand feet above sea level, in a landscape marked by patience and repetition. In the early twentieth century, ball-making knowledge returned to the village with a local craftsman, Froilán Ladino. He and his brother taught the technique to twelve others in the community. They became known as the Twelve Apostles. Through them, the craft spread quietly from hand to hand.

By the mid twentieth century, hundreds of families in Monguí were producing soccer balls each week. When global manufacturing later shifted production elsewhere, the practice did not disappear. It lingered through memory, and discipline of a few still building balls.

Hayworth works to re-establish and preserve this tradition rather than attempting to modernize it. The balls are made by hand and compensated fairly. What matters has already been established.
