Embera-Wounaan artisan bag made of Tetera palm

Discover the authenticity and beauty of traditional 4 tetas baskets, to be carried as a handbag, which are a masterpiece hand-woven by the craftswomen of the Wounaan and Eperara Siapidara people, natives of the Pacific coast of Colombia and Panama. Made from Tetera palm, an indigenous material from the region, this bag combines tradition, aesthetics and functionality in a single accessory. The weaving, the result of an ancestral art, gives life to figures inspired by the symbology of nature, with designs that tell mythological and cultural stories handed down from generation to generation. Each motif represents the deep connection of the Wounaan community with their environment, making each bag a unique and meaningful work of art. This bag is known by the name 4 Tetas, due to its particular shape resembling 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 to accompany 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 plant fiber extracted from the leaves or bark of various palm species. Resistant, ecological, and naturally waterproof, it is commonly used for baskets, hats, rugs, and home decor 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 item, lightly moisten the surface with a barely damp cloth.
  • Periodically expose palm fiber to fresh air to prevent moisture stagnation.
