👀 Do you want to know more about the amazing people who are making these bags?
The Wayuu indigenous people were one of the first settlers of La Guajira, in northern Colombia😮, and their presence has been recorded since 150 BC.
Now this region where they live is a desert, surviving in the dry season is not easy, their main economic source is agriculture, livestock and handicrafts. We provide communities with a fixed monthly income by buying all their backpacks in advance based on 70% of the final net profit, giving them a higher price than what they could fetch in the market.
There are still many things to do and to help them live a much better life, especially for the little ones. If you still want to know more, write to us!
Each bag is handmade by different artisans, so please allow some small design or size differences.
