$150
Hand-woven Wayuu Mochila Bag - 100% Colombian fine cotton. Condition is New with tags. Sent with Australia Post Standard Large.
Arhuaca backpacks are unique because they are handmade by indigenous people and their designs are authentic, they also promote fair trade. These bags are made of wool, in fine cotton and brightly colored yarns and in trickling in raw color, with all kinds of geometric designs. They are still 100% handmade and organic and take between 5 and 7 weeks to be manufactured. These bags are made by women of the Arhuaco tribes who live in northern Colombia in the mountainous region of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, about 26 kilometers from the Caribbean coast of Colombia. Through weaving, women express their worldview and philosophy of nature. The backpack, more than an object, represents an extension of the womb of each woman and of the universal mother earth. When an Arhuaco hangs his backpack on his shoulders, he also supports his entire community as a symbol of cultural identity.
