Wildwood · 1-Thread Medium Wayuu Mochila

100% Handcrafted | One-of-a-Kind | Fair Trade | Indigenous-Made Handwoven by the Wayuu Indigenous women of La Guajira, Colombia, who proudly preserve their cultural traditions through weaving.    Every piece is a window into the hands and heart of its maker. Woven by hand, the patterns and colors shift from artisan to artisan, each one a living thread of their culture, land, memory, and daily life. We collectively work with independent artisans and their families to bring you joyful, story-filled mochilas and accessories. This Kanaas or design in Wayuunaiki is called Jime’Uyaa, which signifies “The eye of a fish”. This is an adaptation of that design.
