Product Description:

Explore the vibrant and unique world of Wuitusu's handmade crochet bags, each an artisan masterpiece crafted by the skilled hands of Wayuu women. These artisans inherit their crochet skills during a traditional period of seclusion, learning from generations before them. Every bag is imbued with stories of nature, clans, and cosmic beliefs through its colorful and intricate patterns, making each one a unique testament to Wayuu culture.

Drawn from the lore of a mythical spider-like deity, these colorful creations are more than mere accessories; they are vivid representations of Wayuu life and wisdom. The palette used in each bag is rich in symbolism: red for blood, blue for wisdom, yellow for happiness, beige for the earth, and a mix of greens, pinks, and oranges depicting the lush local flora.

Each Wuitusu bag is meticulously crafted from durable synthetic fibers, measuring roughly 9 to 13 inches in both diameter and depth. The straps, extending between 32 to 40 inches, are designed to fit comfortably over your hip, making these bags ideal for daily use. These unique, artisan bags are not only stylish but are also built to last, making them the perfect gift for her.

By purchasing these colorful, handmade treasures, you support the economic empowerment of the Wayuu community and contribute to the preservation of their rich cultural heritage. Wuitusu is dedicated to fair trade practices at every level of her business, proudly partnering with the Fair Trade LA organization. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from every sale is donated to support vulnerable populations, with every $50 purchase providing meals for five Wayuu children through The Wayuu Taya Foundation.

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.
