Basket Bag 4 Tetas - Rhombus
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.
