Know before you buy
Yes. Because each bag is handwoven by individual Wayuu artisans, the specific geometric patterns and color combinations are unique to every piece. You will receive a bag that is distinct from any other.
The bag is crafted from durable cotton, making it sturdy enough for daily essentials like groceries, beach towels, or a laptop. While it is lightweight, the tight weave ensures it can handle a significant load without losing its shape.
The open-top design is intended for easy access, making it ideal for market trips or beach days. If you are carrying smaller items, we recommend using a small internal pouch or organizer to keep your valuables secure.
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Because these are handmade cotton items, avoid machine washing or heavy soaking to preserve the integrity of the weave and the decorative tassels.
The strap is designed with a wide, soft cotton weave that distributes weight evenly across your shoulder. It is flexible and comfortable, even when the bag is fully packed.
