Materials

The mochilas WAYUU bags are made of a unique cotton yarn, locally sourced from the Wayuu people in Colombia. This special cotton is durable yet lightweight and soft to the touch, making it perfect for crocheting intricate patterns that create these beautiful handbags.

Each bag is individually hand crafted by local artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The process starts with weaving colorful threads into a single panel before being carefully sewn together to form the bag’s shape. Once complete, each bag is cut and edged with leather or suede trimming for added detailing and structure, creating an individualized piece of artisan craftsmanship that will last you many years to come.

Care Instructions

Proper care of your mochilas WAYUU bags is essential to ensure
its longevity and beauty. The unique design and hand-crafted nature of these
bags make them a truly special item, so it's important to take extra care when
cleaning and maintaining them.

To start, each bag arrives clean and fresh from the hands of
Colombian artisans who pre-clean the material before shipping. To spot treat
any dirt or stains that may accumulate over time, use a gentle cleaner
specifically designed for delicate fabrics such as silk or wool. Avoid using
harsh chemicals or detergents as they can damage the fibers of your bag.

If more than spot treatment is necessary, machine washing on
a delicate cycle in cold water with mild detergent is an option; however it’s
best to put the bag inside-out into a delicates laundry bag if possible for
added protection during washing. Afterward, hang dry away from direct sunlight
as this will prevent fading and discoloration over time. 

Finally, while Wayuu mochila bags are incredibly sturdy due
to their intricate crochet patterns,  it
is important to be mindful of overstuffing or pulling too hard on the straps when
wearing. Doing so can cause unintended damage and weaken the fibers of your
bag.

By taking these simple steps, you can ensure that your
unique Colombian handbag will stay looking beautiful for many years to come.
