Know before you buy
Since this bag is hand-woven, we recommend storing it in the included dust bag when not in use to protect the fibers. If it needs cleaning, spot-clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that could affect the pastel dyes.
Because each bag is 100% handmade by Wayuu Artisans, slight variations in color and pattern are expected. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and make each piece unique.
The magnetic tabs provide a convenient, quick-access closure that keeps the bag's shape while securing your essentials. While it is perfect for city errands or beach trips, it is an open-top design, so be mindful of smaller items when carrying it in crowded areas.
The spacious interior is designed to accommodate daily essentials, such as a large wallet, a water bottle, a light sweater, and a book. Its durable, hand-woven construction makes it sturdy enough for both beach towels and city shopping hauls.
This bag is crafted in Venezuela using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations of Wayuu women. By purchasing this tote, you are directly supporting fair trade practices and the economic empowerment of these skilled artisans.
