Mma, Traditional Wayuu Bag

Handcrafted by Wayuu women using the two-strand crochet technique and a single-strand strap, the weaving process takes approximately one week, ensuring a unique piece that captures the art and tradition of the Wayuu culture. This mochila is more than an accessory: it is a work of art, carefully handwoven with great skill and dedication by Wayuu artisans in La Guajira, Colombia. This art, cherished and passed down through generations, symbolizes the community's deep connection to its traditions and cultural identity. With every stitch, the indigenous Wayuu artisans weave an ancestral story that transcends borders, blending tradition, art, and design. These unique pieces are created in limited quantities due to the complexity of their craftsmanship and the time required for their production.

Our mochilas are woven under fair trade practices, ensuring dignified working conditions and fair pay for the Wayuu artisans who create these unique pieces. This commitment ensures that each mochila not only represents the art and ancestral traditions of the community but also supports the well-being of Wayuu families. By purchasing one of our mochilas, you directly contribute to empowering its creators and preserving their cultural heritage in a setting of respect and equity.
