KALEPUSUYAA WOVEN BAG

This handwoven  Mochila bag is brought to life by Wayuu artisans in the La Guajira peninsula in northern Colombia. This bag takes up to 25 days to weave by hand with just a single strand of thread, making a very tight and strong weave. The pattern is a symbol of the Wayuu culture and a fine example of their ethnic lifestyle.

By buying this mochila bag you are supporting the Wayuu craftsmanship and empowering women in this ethnic community to develop their skills and have a better standard of living. Through CASTELLANO’s products, the cultural heritage and internationally renowned weaving skills are being preserved. The combination of colours and crystals add a touch of luxury to this unique fashion accessory.  Enjoy this gift just yourself… swing it over your shoulder and go travelling with a luxury and hippie-chic feel!
