Handcrafted by Wayuu women in Colombia, where La Guajira Desert meets the Caribbean Sea, this bag – “mochila” - takes 15 days to finalize and reflects the culture and strong weaving traditions of the Wayuu indigenous group.
The Wayuu inhabit the arid Guajira Peninsula straddling the Venezuela-Colombia border, on the Caribbean Sea coast. They are currently the largest indigenous group of these two countries, and one of which preserves and protects its culture the most.
