The Craft Story

These dolls are handcrafted in Los Patios, Norte de Santander, Colombia, by artisan María Stella Peñaloza Mora, who transforms recycled fabrics into expressive cultural pieces.

Inspired by the Wayuu tradition, where mothers originally created small dolls to represent themselves for their children, the Wayunquerra dolls carry a story of family, identity and belonging. The Wayuu people are one of the largest Indigenous communities in Colombia and Venezuela, and their traditions continue to inspire new generations through storytelling and craft.

Handcrafted Variation

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.

Product Care

• Spot clean gently with a damp cloth
