Our Spring & Summer Collection!
Welcome the warmer months with our Spring & Summer Wayuu mochila bag collection — a handpicked edit of large handmade Colombian bags in the fresh, vibrant colours and bold geometric patterns that define the season.
Each bag in this collection is a large drawstring bucket bag by design — the traditional Wayuu mochila shape, cinched at the top with a braided cord and worn as a cross-body over the shoulder. It's a silhouette that's both practical and effortlessly stylish, perfect for festivals, beach days, holidays, and everything in between.
What makes these bags truly special is the weave. Each one is a hand-crocheted purse in the truest sense — a dense crochet weave worked entirely by hand by Wayuu artisans in the La Guajira region of Colombia, using techniques passed down through generations. Learn about our ethical sourcing. The result is a crochet shoulder bag that's remarkably strong, structured, and built to last.
The geometric patterns are drawn from traditional Wayuu design vocabulary — known as Kanaas, these motifs carry cultural meaning unique to each artisan's clan and heritage. From rhombus and diamond to labyrinth and petal, every geometric pattern bag in this collection tells a story.
