The Craft Story 

These straps are handcrafted in the Ishipaa Community, La Guajira Desert, Colombia, by artisan Sandra Aguilar and her family, part of the Wayuu Indigenous community. According to Wayuu legend, a sacred spider taught women the art of weaving — a tradition that continues today through intricate patterns and symbolic designs.

Each strap is created over the course of up to a week, using traditional handloom and macramé techniques. The result is a piece that carries cultural meaning, storytelling and the spirit of the artisan’s creativity.

Product Care

• Wipe gently with a damp cloth
• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture
• Store flat or hung to maintain shape
• Care note: avoid excessive pulling to preserve the weave integrity

Handcrafted Variation Note

Each piece is handcrafted individually, meaning slight variations in tone, texture and measurement (up to 20%) are a natural part of the process — and what makes your piece entirely your own. This is not considered a fault.
