Know before you buy
Fique is a natural, sustainable fiber native to Colombia, known for its exceptional strength and durability. While it has a rustic, organic texture, it is robust enough to carry daily essentials like electronics, books, or groceries without losing its shape.
Yes, the 40x40 cm dimensions provide ample space for most standard laptops and tablets. However, as the bag has an open-top design and no internal padding, we recommend using a protective sleeve for your electronics.
Because it is made from 100% natural fiber, we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid submerging the bag in water or using harsh chemicals, as this can compromise the integrity of the natural fibers.
The straps are designed to be wide enough to distribute weight evenly across your shoulder. While the fique fiber is sturdy, it is best suited for everyday items rather than excessively heavy loads to ensure the longevity of the weave.
Each Curití Tote is individually handwoven by artisans, meaning there may be slight variations in the weave pattern or color saturation. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the traditional craftsmanship and make each piece unique.
