Handmade and eco-friendly handbags

http://www.yuhandcraft.com - info@yuhandcraft.com

Welcome to YU Handcraft!

Our handmade bags are full of meaning with unique patterns and color combinations; turned into an exquisite fashion accessory.

They are of 100% cotton and eco-friendly.

The handbags are made by women of the Wayuu tribe; a tribe that has been existing for generations. They live in the Northern part of South America, by the Caribbean cost, in Colombia and Venezuela.

Cultural aspects and traditions are very important for the Wayuu people. Wayuu women are taught from a young age how to become a leader with wisdom and deep knowledge of their culture. From the time when they are very young and as they grow up, they learn how to weave and express themselves through the weaving of different items such as these extraordinary handbags, also known as mochilas.

Each mochila is handmade by one woman and she spends several days, sometimes up to twenty days to finish one bag. The mochilas’ patterns and color combinations reflects the women’s culture and creativity with inspiration from the elements of the earth and the nature. Centuries of history and traditions are presented to the lovers of meaningful fashion items.

Just like every one of us is unique, so is each mochila…

Bring some extra uniqueness into your life!
