Artisan Handloomed and Macrame Wayuu Crossbody Straps
Ethically and Sustainably sourced from Colombian Artisan and Indigenous women-owned businesses
Authentic Wayuu Tribal Crossbody Straps are expertly handloomed and macrame knotted by matriarchal Wayuu Indigenous Artisan women.
Casa Bonita's vibrant, unique and intrinsic crossbody bag straps are exquisitely handcrafted by Sandra Aguilar and her family.
The Wayuu Tribal legend, shares that a sacred spider taught women the skill of weaving. The artisans continue their connection with their cosmos by weaving nature and culture into the colours and designs of each woven piece, while preserving Indigenous ancestral techniques.
Our Wayuu crossbody bag straps, are the absolute representation of the Wayuu women's dreams and creativity. Each design is unique to the individual weaver, who tell their story through the geometric beauty and the deep spiritual message they carry.
Each crossbody strap is handcrafted, naturally dyed using high quality yarn threads and traditional macrame and handloom techniques. It takes an Artisan up to 1 week to complete this unique and powerful fashion accessory.
