This purse was designed and all handmade by artisans in Colombia, South America. We use a mix of techniques to complete our designs and our main goal is to highlight and celebrate the beauty of mother nature.
We believe in supporting and showcasing our folklore, Latin America has a long and rich history of different folk styles, with this design we have chosen to bring together 2 different styles, 1st an elegant minimalist leather crossbody bag and then add a little bit of our culture with a Wayuu handmade strap.
The Wayuu (pronounced "Wah-You") people are an indigenous group inhabiting the visually striking desert of La Guajira Peninsula which borders the northeastern of Colombia and Venezuela. The Wayuu live in small settlements called "rancherias" which consist of five or six houses. Within these rancherias, the Wayuu people are able to preserve a way of life that has been passed down through the generations and remains unscathed by modern culture. To create each unique design Wayuu women use a specific technique of placing a single cotton thread in a manual loom. Wayuu women learn the art of crocheting at an early age and legends say that Wayuu women were originally taught to weave and create these complex patterns in their designs to mirror the webs created by a spider-like deity Wale ´Kerü.
