Handmade mochila blue Wayuu bag

Description

The mochila blue is a cultural treasure woven by skilled Wayuu artisans using traditional crochet techniques passed down for generations. Each bag takes weeks of detailed work, combining vibrant blue tones with ancestral geometric patterns (Kanaas) that hold cultural meaning. Recognized worldwide as a product of designation of origin, this mochila is more than a fashion accessory—it is a symbol of Colombian heritage.

Size and everyday use

Spacious and versatile, the mochila blue is designed to adapt to your daily life. On average, it measures:

• Width: 12–13 inches

• Length: 11–12 inches

• Strap: 17–19 inches

• Base diameter: 8–9 inches

Because each piece is handmade, small variations occur, making every Wayuu mochila unique. Its wide strap ensures comfort even when carrying essentials throughout the day.

Durable materials and strong weave

Wayuu artisans craft each mochila blue using a mix of cotton and acrylic threads. Acrylic is not accidental—it provides durability against sun, sand, and the long trips that characterize Wayuu life. Cotton adds softness and flexibility. As a result, this bag is extremely durable, easy to wash, and designed to last a lifetime.

Symbolism in patterns

The designs on the mochila are more than decoration. Diamonds may symbolize guardian spirits, while zigzag lines reflect life’s journey. Each bag becomes a wearable story woven with cultural depth and meaning.

A gift-ready accessory

Care instructions

Keeping your mochila blue in excellent condition is simple. Hand wash with cold water and mild soap, then dry in the shade. For machine washing, turn it inside out or place it in a laundry pouch on a gentle cycle.
