The stunning, one-of-a-kind Wayuu bag is 100% handmade and was carefully crocheted by female artisans from the Wayuu tribe in the desert of Colombia, South America. The versatile crochet crossbody Wayuu bag was created for the woman that values and appreciates true craftsmanship. This particular single thread crochet crossbody represents approximately 20 days of work for a single artisan.
CARE- Turn the bag inside out and tie the drawstrings together. Place the drawstrings inside the bag so they do not get damaged. Place the bag on a quick 15-minute cycle on a cold setting. Hang to dry.
