Hand-woven by the incredibly talented Wayuu women from the La Guajira region of Northern Colombia, this boho crochet bag stands out with its striking color and unique design.
These exquisite shoulder bags are meticulously worked on for approximately 1-week by a single Wayuu artisan, resulting in a high-definition finish and an incredibly lightweight feel.
Each bag's geometric patterning is one-of-a-kind, with the color scheme chosen seasonally based on various cultural symbols, observations in nature, and as a form of personal expression.
These cute crossbody bags are practically weightless AND remarkably spacious, giving you a stunning, practical option for a day at the beach, a music festival, or simply for regular, day-to-day use.
Traditionally woven from cotton, advancements in the modern-day garment industry have introduced acrylic fibers, which are now used almost exclusively in the bags' production. This provides a final product much more resistant to wear and tear, and easier to wash and maintain overall (though it is still recommended to hand-wash over machine-wash).
