Product Description: Dive into the spirited and colorful universe of Wuitusu's handmade crochet bags, each a beacon of artisanal brilliance handcrafted by the talented Wayuu women of Colombia. These masterful artisans pass down their crochet artistry from one generation to the next during a cherished period of seclusion. Every stitch tells a vibrant story, weaving tales of nature, clan legends, and cosmic beliefs into the fabric of each unique crochet bag, making it not just an accessory but a piece of living history.

Inspired by a mythical spider-like deity, these beautiful creations serve as a canvas showcasing the profound symbolism in Wayuu culture. The vivid colors used in each bohemian crochet bag—reds speaking of lifeblood, blues of deep wisdom, yellows of radiant happiness, beiges of the earth, and an array of greens, pinks, and oranges depicting lush flora—are all imbued with meaning.

Each Wuitusu mochila bag, ranging in size from 9 to 13 inches in diameter and depth, is crafted from high-quality vegan fibers. The comfortably long straps, stretching between 32 to 40 inches, make these boho crossbody bags a perfect companion for everyday adventures. Robust and stylish, these unique, artisan bags are not just eye-catching but built to endure, rendering them an ideal gift for that special someone.

When you choose one of these colorful crochet handbags, you're not just acquiring a fashion statement piece; you're also supporting the economic upliftment of the Wayuu community and helping to safeguard their rich cultural tapestry. Wuitusu is committed to ethical trade practices at every level of operation and is a proud associate of Fair Trade LA. A portion of your purchase contributes directly to The Wayuu Taya Foundation, ensuring that with every $50 spent, five meals are provided to Wayuu children, fostering hope and continuity in their community.

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.
