Colombian Handmade Artisan Bag Rhombus Mochila Arhuaca

This Woven Bag made of wool is an iconic representation of Colombia's idiosyncrasy, specifically of the Arhuacos, an indigenous community located in the Sierra Nevada in Santa Marta, a truly beautiful place in the Caribbean cost of Colombia.

This item is not just any bag; it is an accessory that has been handcrafted by talented artisans who are the "Wati" or women of the Arhuaco people. The colors of these completely Handmade Artisan Bags are Earth tones which include various shades of browns and tans. The designs of these Woven Sheep Wool Bags are always unique; in this case this Mochila has a nice rhombus pattern.

Longtime ago only the Arhuacos would use these bags, but today, these Unisex Mochilas are used by people all over the world since they have become well-known for their high quality and for their versatility as they can be used for different purposes and for any occasion. In the Arhuaco community when a man and a woman are getting married, the woman weaves two bags, one for each of them representing their union. What does your bag represents to you?
