Embera-Wounaan artisan Tetera palm bag Discover the authenticity and beauty of traditional 4-teat baskets, to carry as a handbag, which are a masterpiece hand-woven by the artisans of the Wounaan and Eperara Siapidara people, native to the Pacific coast of Colombia and Panama. Made with Tetera palm, an indigenous material of the region, this bag combines tradition, aesthetics, and functionality in a single accessory. The weaving, the result of ancestral art, brings to life figures inspired by the symbolism of nature, with designs that tell mythological and cultural stories passed down from generation to generation. Each motif represents the deep connection of the Wounaan community with their environment, making each bag a unique work of art rich in meaning. This bag is known by the name 4 Tetas (4 Teats) due to its particular shape that resembles four women's breasts, recalling the sinuous curves of the female body, a symbol of fertility and life in indigenous tradition. The rigid structure gives the bag a solid and durable consistency, ideal for accompanying you on every occasion. Thanks to its versatility, it is perfect both to complete a casual everyday look and to add a sophisticated and ethnic touch to an elegant outfit.

CURE

Palm fiber is a vegetable fiber extracted from the leaves or bark of various palm species. Durable, eco-friendly, and naturally waterproof, it is commonly used for baskets, hats, rugs, and decorative items. Its care is simple but requires attention to humidity and sunlight.

Regular Cleaning

Dry brushing or damp cloth. Avoid full washing.

Stains

Blot immediately with warm water and mild soap. Do not rub.

Drying

Air dry, away from direct heat sources.

Storage

In a dry place, away from humidity (causes mold) and excessive dryness (makes the fiber brittle).

  • Avoid immersion in water: palm fibers absorb moisture and can deform or rot.
  • To restore flexibility to a dried item, lightly moisten the surface with a barely damp cloth.
  • Periodically expose palm fiber to fresh air to prevent moisture stagnation.
