Product Description:
Step into the enchanting realm of Wuitusu, where each handmade crochet bag is a vibrant testament to the Wayuu women's exceptional crochet artistry. Immerse yourself in the myriad of colors that paint each unique crochet bag, transforming every piece into a stunning statement piece. Perfectly sized at approximately 36 cm (14 in) high and 25 cm (10 in) wide, these boho crossbody bags are not just stylish but also practical. Crafted from durable acrylic thread, they promise long-lasting use and hassle-free maintenance with machine washability in cold water and air drying.
From their earliest years, Wayuu women engage deeply with the tradition of crochet, a skill passed down through generations during pivotal moments of seclusion. Here, these artisans don't just learn to create; they weave their life's tales into vibrant patterns and hues. Each color holds a world of meaning—reds whisper of vitality, blues murmur wisdom, yellows sing of joy, beiges tell of the earth, while pinks and oranges dance like blossoms in the breeze, and greens echo the lush trees.
Adorning a colorful crochet handbag from Wuitusu is more than a fashion statement—it's a celebration of heritage and a lifeline to cultural preservation. Wuitusu’s dedication to fair trade practices ensures that every purchase supports the artisans fairly and sustainably.

Most Gorgeous & Fabulous Hat Ever
I saw this hat on Instagram and just had to have one. Although picking out just one was challenging, I finally committed to a colorful yellow, blue, and black combo. The hat arrived very quickly, and I was thrilled to be able to wear it before summer's end. It was a bit tight on my head, but I followed the video instructions, and it was super easy to get the perfect fit and shape for my tastes. Everywhere I go, I get compliments, and I have already decided that I am going to order a few more because each hat is unique and more beautiful than the last. RAVE reviews! I'm almost reluctant to tell anyone where I purchased the hat, but I'm spreading the word far and wide because the proceeds benefit the talented weavers and artisans.

Sabrina Handmade Wayuu Hat
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.

I love Hats
the hat is beautiful, but the color of the sash was not what I expected. The color is way off. I wish I could exchange it for another color
