What is a mochila?
A mochila is a traditional shoulder bag, entirely hand-woven by the 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 and artistic value, and carries with it the work, time, and tradition of its creators.
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.
