We present our UMAKI WAYUU bag, an outstanding accessory and a clear showcase of artisanal mastery. It is hand-crocheted by Wayuu artisans, the largest indigenous group in Colombia, who inhabit La Guajira, a department on its Caribbean coast. For its creation, the artisans use optimum-quality acrylic threads, applying the ancestral technique of crochet (ganchillo). This crafting skill is a cultural tradition passed down from generation to generation, learned by the women from a young age. This bag was crafted with dense, double-thread crochet, taking the artisan approximately 6 to 8 days to complete the design with a meticulous and durable finish. Furthermore, each piece includes a secure zipper closure. The Wayuu society is matriarchal, and its women have transformed their art of thread into a widely recognized style, becoming a key source of income and family livelihood.
Carry the art of the Wayuu with you and steal every glance.
