Wayuu Backpack (Medium) - Brezza

Wayuu mochila (bag) with a light gray body and a multicolored flat handle, crocheted with a tight knot texture and delicate movement. Closed by two burgundy pompoms and embellished with a pompom at the base, it can be carried by hand or on the shoulder, for any occasion.

A texture that plays with light

This mochila is born from the hands of Wayuu weavers, an indigenous community from the Guajira region in Colombia, guardians of a female textile tradition passed down through generations. The body of the bag is made in a solid light gray color, a bright and versatile hue that serves as the perfect canvas for the true protagonist of the design: the flat, wide handle, delicately crocheted with a texture of tight knots alternating with softer surfaces, creating a refined, light, and dynamic relief.

The handle and drawstring closure light up with a splendid multicolored combination — aquamarine, pink, white, green, yellow, and gray — a delightful mix that suits every occasion, from casual to more elegant looks. To complete the design, two burgundy pompoms close the bag at the front, while a delicate pompom at the base adds a final touch of lightness and playfulness, making the mochila even more dynamic and lively.

Comfort and versatility

The wide, flat handle, 7 cm wide, ensures a comfortable and stable grip: the mochila can be carried by hand, like an elegant bag, or on the shoulder, for more practical everyday use.

What is a mochila?

A mochila is a traditional shoulder bag, entirely hand-woven by indigenous peoples of Latin America. Made with techniques passed down from generation to generation, each mochila is hand-knitted using natural fibers, wool, cotton, or beads, and often decorated with designs and pictograms that tell stories, spiritual symbols, and the worldview of each community.

More than just an accessory, the mochila is an expression of cultural identity, an object that combines daily functionality with artistic value, and that carries with it the work, time, and tradition of those who create it.

Note: As this is a hand-woven piece, small variations in colors, weaving, or pompoms are part of the unique and authentic character of each mochila.
