Collection: Wayuu Bags

According to Wayùu cosmology, everything on Earth is connected, and has a soul. In their language, Wayuunaiki, every vegetable, animal, human, or mineral has a soul and a language. Each Wayùu bag is a unique piece of art which is 100% handmade. One of the most important tasks for a Wayùu woman is the art of weaving.

Another common legend, the weaving tradition comes from Wale'Keru a spider that taught women how to weave, and use the thread, colours, and patterns as a storytelling technique. Thus, each bag is unique - and are not duplicated.

Creating each mochila bag requires weaver's physical and emotional energy, taking up to 25 days to weave a single bag.

Buying these handmade Wayùu Mochilas you are supporting and helping the Wayùu people, to conserve their ancient culture and form.
