At Colombian Native Craft, we proudly present our signature collection of Wayuu bags, an extraordinary expression of Colombian artisan heritage. Handmade by the talented craftswomen of the Wayuu tribe, each bag tells a story of ancestral wisdom, vibrant culture, and impeccable artistry.
The Wayuu bags (also known as “mochila Wayuu”) are globally recognized for their unique designs, bold colors, and intricate handwoven patterns. Every bag is a reflection of the Wayuu tribe’s rich traditions, passed down through generations in the remote La Guajira desert of northern Colombia.
