Product Description:

Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of the Wayuu with our stunning collection of handmade crochet bags. Each piece is a labor of love, meticulously crafted by the Wayuu women of Colombia, who have mastered the art of crochet from a tender age. These artisans weave not just threads but also their rich heritage into every stitch, guided by ancient myths where a spider-like deity imparted the sacred art of knitting to their ancestors.

Our colorful crochet handbags are more than just accessories; they are a vibrant celebration of life itself. The intricate patterns and vivid hues—reds symbolizing the blood of life, blues reflecting wisdom, yellows radiating happiness, and beiges embodying the earth—are inspired by the natural environment and ancestral symbols of the Wayuu people. Each bag is a unique statement piece, reflecting both the artisan’s spirit and the ancestral echoes of Wayuu culture.

Whether you're looking for a boho crossbody to spice up your festival outfit or a unique crochet bag for daily essentials, our bags are perfect. Each bohemian crochet bag measures approximately 9 to 13 inches in diameter and depth, with comfortably long straps designed to hug your hip and sway gently as you walk. The resilience of these bags promises years of companionship, gracefully adapting to your life’s journey with straps that stretch slightly over time, enhancing their unique, personal charm.

By choosing Wuitusu, you’re not just purchasing a bag; you’re supporting the Wayuu’s way of life. As proud members of Fair Trade LA, we ensure that every purchase promotes fair trade practices. Moreover, each sale helps sustain the Wayuu community, with every $50 spent feeding five Wayuu children in collaboration with the Wayuu Taya Foundation, dedicated to preserving the precious culture of the Wayuu people.

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.
