Handcrafted Embera-Wounaan Bag in Tetera Palm

Discover the authenticity and beauty of traditional 4 Tetas baskets, designed to be carried as handbags. Each one is a masterpiece handwoven by the artisan women of the Wounaan and Eperara Siapidara people, indigenous to the Pacific coast of Colombia and Panama. Made from Tetera palm, a native material from the region, this bag combines tradition, aesthetics, and functionality in a single accessory.

The weaving, a result of ancestral art, brings to life figures inspired by nature's symbolism, with designs that tell mythological and cultural stories passed down through generations. Each motif represents the Wounaan community's deep connection to their environment, making each bag a unique and meaningful work of art. This bag is known as 4 Tetas, for its particular shape resembling four women's breasts, evoking 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 texture, ideal for accompanying you on any occasion. Thanks to its versatility, it is perfect for complementing a casual everyday look or adding 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.

Routine Cleaning

Dry brushing or damp cloth. Avoid full washing.

Stains

Blot immediately with lukewarm 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 object, lightly humidify the surface with a slightly damp cloth.
  • Periodically expose palm fiber to fresh air to prevent moisture stagnation.
