Lovingly handcrafted by the indigenous Wayuu community spanning Colombia and Venezuela, each bag is a masterpiece of punch needle embroidery — rich in texture, detail, and meaning.

  • Adjustable straps (32 to 40 inches) allow for versatility — wear it over the shoulder or as a boho crossbody

  • Meticulously handwoven strap and closure details reflect the Wayuu community’s time-honored craftsmanship

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.
