A unique piece from Wayúu

The legend tells of Wale' keru, a spider whose weaving skill was passed down to the town's artisans. This ancestral tradition continues to this day, resulting in handcrafted backpacks featuring unique designs and colors that capture the essence of the Wayúu people. Each piece is created with genuine creativity and traditional techniques.
