Mochila Wayuu with pattern. Colombian mochila wayuu.

Description

Handmade mochila pattern with heritage value

Talented Wayuu artisans handcraft every mochila pattern using crochet techniques passed down for generations. These bags are not simple accessories—they are cultural treasures that tell stories through patterns called Kanaas. Communities worldwide recognize them as authentic products of Colombian indigenous heritage.

Size and practical use

The spacious body of this Wayuu bag makes it ideal for daily life. Each bag measures on average 12–13 inches in width, 11–12 inches in length, with straps 17–19 inches long and a base diameter of 8–9 inches. Because it is handmade, slight variations occur, but these differences prove its authenticity. Moreover, the flexible shape allows you to carry books, essentials, or beach items comfortably.

Strong materials and lasting colors

Artisans combine cotton and acrylic threads to ensure strength and flexibility. The use of acrylic is intentional—it helps the bag resist desert sun, sand, and long trips. As a result, the mochila with patterns lasts for years while keeping its colors vivid.

Cultural symbolism in every stitch

The geometric motifs, known as Kanaas, carry meaning. Diamonds may represent guardian spirits, while zigzag lines symbolize life’s journey. Therefore, buying a Wayuu mochila design means owning a cultural story woven into every thread.

Gift-ready packaging

Looking for a unique present? Each mochila pattern arrives carefully packed in a box with paper, ribbon, and a note. This thoughtful detail makes it perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or meaningful occasions.

Easy care at home

Maintaining your bag is simple. Hand wash with cold water and mild soap, then dry in the shade. On the other hand, if you prefer using a washing machine, place the bag inside a protective pouch and select a gentle cycle. Proper care keeps the bag’s colors bright and the weave strong.
