4 Tetas Basket Bag - Butterfly
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.
