At Colombian Native Craft, we proudly present the top 10 Colombian handmade products that blend heritage, style, and quality. Each item comes from skilled artisans who preserve Colombia’s cultural roots while offering products ready for modern use.

1. Wayuu bags

The iconic Wayuu bag is perhaps the most recognized Colombian handmade item. Skilled Wayuu women in La Guajira weave each bag with intricate patterns and bright colors. As a result, these bags are lightweight, spacious, and ideal for daily use or as statement fashion pieces.

2. Iraca palm hats

Artisans on Colombia’s coast hand-weave iraca palm hats that are both elegant and functional. Because natural fibers make them durable and breathable, they’re perfect for sunny days. These hats also highlight the sustainability and beauty of Colombian handmade work.

3. Crochet straps on Wayuu bags

Every Wayuu bag features a signature crochet strap, entirely handmade. The strap provides strength, comfort, and artistry. Bright patterns and symbolic designs ensure each strap becomes a unique element of the bag.

4. Iraca palm tableware

Table mats, coasters, and baskets woven from iraca palm remain popular for home decoration. These pieces display refined craftsmanship and bring a natural touch to any table setting.

5. Artisan jewelry

From seed-based necklaces to woven bracelets, Colombian handmade jewelry showcases creativity and tradition. Each piece adds a cultural accent while remaining lightweight and colorful.

6. Handwoven hammocks

Artisans on Colombia’s northern coast craft hammocks from natural cotton. They offer comfort and style, perfect for relaxing indoors or outdoors.

7. Mochilas Arhuacas

The Arhuaco indigenous community in the Sierra Nevada creates mochilas known for earthy tones and symbolic designs. Each bag requires weeks of work, demonstrating patience and exceptional skill.

8. Decorative wall hangings

Handmade wall hangings crafted with woven fibers or macramé techniques bring personality and Colombian heritage to any space. They’re ideal for those seeking authentic home décor.
