FAQ

What is a Wayuu Bag?

A Wayuu bag is more than just a handbag, it’s a piece of culture and tradition.

Handcrafted by the Wayuu women in Colombia, these bags are known for their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and quality craftsmanship.

Each one is unique, taking days to weave, making it not just a fashion accessory but also a meaningful piece of art.

If you're looking for something that stands out, with a story behind it, a Wayuu bag is the perfect addition to your wardrobe—beautiful, durable, and made with care.

How Do I Take Care of My Bag?

  • Hand Wash: Clean your Wayuu bag gently by hand using mild soap and cold water to avoid damaging the fibers.
  • Air Dry: After washing, let the bag air dry naturally. Avoid using a dryer as the heat can shrink or damage the acrylic yarn.
  • Spot Clean: For minor stains, spot clean with a soft cloth or brush, using soap and cold water. Be gentle to preserve the colors and fabric.
  • Storage: Store your Wayuu bag in a cool, dry place.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals that can fade the colors and weaken the fabric.
