HOT ! Wayuu Long Strapped Shoulder Bag

The rich cultural heritage of the Wayuu is carefully woven into each mochila.

These one-thread  Wayuu Long Strapped Shoulder Bag are crocheted by hand through traditional techniques that have been passed on from generation to generation. The process can take over a month to complete, resulting in an object that is not just a bag, but a reflection of deeply rooted traditions and values.

On the surface, the bucket-shaped mochila features bold and bright patterns that are designed by the Wayuu people. Each mochila has a unique, natural and bohemian appeal. A sturdy shoulder strap makes the bag a functional item that is convenient for both work and leisure use.
