Embera-Wounaan Artisan Tetera Palm Bag

Discover the authenticity and beauty of traditional 4-tetas baskets, carried as handbags, 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 from Tetera palm, an indigenous material of the region, this bag combines tradition, aesthetics, and functionality in one accessory.

The weaving, the result of an ancestral art, gives life to 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 Wounaan community's deep connection with their environment, making each bag a unique and meaningful work of art.

This bag is known as 4 Tetas, due to its particular shape resembling four women's breasts, echoing 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 any occasion. Thanks to its versatility, it is perfect both for completing a casual daily look and for 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 immersing 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 buildup.
