Product Description:

Explore the vibrant, artisan world of the Wayuu women with our unique, handmade Wuitusu bags. These skilled artisans, from a young age, master the elaborate art of crochet under the guidance of their mothers and grandmothers, intertwining not just yarn but the rich narrative of their culture and heritage. These colorful, artisan creations are more than just accessories; they are a testament to their craftsmanship and carry significant cultural symbolism, with each pattern reflecting elements of nature, clan symbols, and sacred teachings of their myths.

Each bag is inspired by a divine spider-like deity and symbolizes life's journey, with straps representing destiny and vibrant colors encoding essential aspects of life—red symbolizing blood, blue for wisdom, and yellow for happiness. Crafted from durable synthetic fibers, these roughly 9 to 13-inch bags are not only sustainable but also perfect for carrying daily essentials, combining practicality with effortless style.

Choosing a Wuitusu bag is not just a purchase, but a support for fair trade practices. Wuitusu proudly upholds fair trade at every level of operation as a member of the Fair Trade LA organization. Additionally, a portion of your purchase supports the Wayuu Taya Foundation, aiding in the preservation of the rich Wayuu culture and providing meals for Wayuu children—every $50 purchase helps feed 5 children.

Embrace the spirit of the Wayuu women with a Wuitusu bag—the perfect gift for her, celebrating unique artisan craftsmanship and a commitment to cultural preservation and fair trade.

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.
