Product Description:
Step into a world of bold color and timeless artisan craftsmanship with our Handmade Crochet Wayuu Bag, a radiant tribute to bohemian elegance and cultural legacy. This stunning piece, meticulously crafted by the indigenous Wayuu artisans of Colombia and Venezuela, is not just a bag—it’s a wearable expression of heritage and art.
Dimensions & Fit:
With a diameter and depth ranging from 9 to 13 inches, this bohemian crochet bag is ideal for keeping your everyday essentials close at hand—whether you're heading to a coastal getaway, a music festival, or a casual city stroll.
The handwoven strap, measuring between 32 to 40 inches, allows you to wear it comfortably as a boho crossbody or shoulder bag. Its form and function make it a versatile favorite—serving easily as a summer crochet bag, beach crochet bag, or even a roomy crochet book bag.
Material & Design:
Crafted from high-quality vegan acrylic threads, this colorful crochet handbag features a bold black-and-cream geometric base pattern, elevated by a vibrant turquoise strap, top border, and statement tassels. Every stitch is a testament to the traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations of Wayuu women.
This unique crochet bag embodies not only stunning craftsmanship but also thoughtful symbolism—the design mirrors the natural harmony and bold landscapes of the Guajira Peninsula.

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
