Product Description:

Immerse yourself in the radiant charm of our Wuitusu crochet bags, each a vibrant testament to the rich Wayuu heritage. Lovingly handcrafted by the skilled Wayuu women of Colombia, these bags embody the spirit of a tradition handed down through generations. From their early years, Wayuu girls learn the art of crochet, a pivotal skill that celebrates their transition into womanhood and honors their vibrant culture.

Each Wuitusu bag is a palette of stories, inspired by an ancient myth where a spider deity unveils the secret of crochet to the Wayuu. Adorned with symbolic patterns and lively hues that echo cultural tales of life, wisdom, and joy, these bags do more than just carry your essentials—they carry tales. The vibrant reds, deep blues, and bright yellows each hold a piece of Wayuu lore, making every bag not just an accessory but a piece of art.

Our diverse range of Wuitusu bags, from the practical 9-inch to the spacious 13-inch, all feature adjustable straps for comfort and are crafted from durable synthetic fibers. This makes each piece not only a stunning visual treat but also a reliable companion for all your adventures, be it a summer crochet bag for the beach or a crochet book bag for daily errands.

Choosing a Wuitusu bag means you're not just picking out a unique crochet bag; you're making a choice to support fair trade practices and contribute to the economic empowerment of the Wayuu people. As a proud partner of Fair Trade LA and collaborator with the Wayuu Taya Foundation, every purchase from Wuitusu helps preserve the beautiful, weaving narrative of the Wayuu culture. Your purchase goes further, with every $50 spent providing essential meals to five Wayuu children.

🔥 One in stock — no two pieces are the same.!

So beautiful!!!

This bag is simply gorgeous!!! So well made. The color is so cool, great for the summer. One thing though, the strap needs to be longer. The strap is very short. I'd definitely, definitely, definitely pay more for a longer strap. Stunning work.
