Chila Bags
The Wayuu are an indigenous community that lives in the arid peninsula of La Guajira, in northern Colombia. Textile art is one of the most remarkable characteristics of its culture. Transmitted from mothers to daughters for many generations, for the Wayúu women, weaving is an art where they can express their feelings and longings.
Wayúu handbags are made with 100% natural cotton threads in crochet or crochet, and are hand-woven, in a totally handmade way by the women of the tribe. To make each piece, women can take at least 20 days.
Comfortable, cheerful and colorful, the Wayuu handbags are causing a sensation and we can see them hanging from the shoulders of many celebrities, in the collections of numerous firms and we bring them to you by Chila Bags.
Chila Bags was created in 2013 after a trip to La Guajira. They fell in love not only with the place, but also with the beautiful handbags made by the women of the Wayuu tribe. Since then they work personally with the Wayuu women and have eliminated intermediaries by making sure they receive a salary and that they work in good conditions.
The popularity of these bags is very important for these women, since weaving by hand these pieces and then selling them support the economy of their villages.
Chila Bags patterns are ideal for any time of the year, for your trips around the world, for a day at the beach ... a basic for all seasons.
Join the Wayuu trend!
