Historia

The Wayúu are native indigenous people of northern Colombia that still jealously preserve their cultural traditions, including the craft of weaving taught according to myth by the wayúu spider or Wale’ Kerü.

The fabric for the people Wayúu, more than a cultural practice and a legacy of their ancestors, is a way of conceiving and expressing life as they feel and want it.

The mochila backpacks are the ultimate expression of tissue Wayuu. They are easily recognizable by their colours and designs that are inspired by nature. Made with yarn or crochet techniques, each piece, taking about 20 days, is unique and unrepeatable and therefore considered a work of art.
