Wayuu History

The Wayuu's love for mochilas comes from intricate techniques passed down through generations, inspired by "Wale´kerü," a spider who taught women to weave creative designs. Most Wayuu bag makers are women, passing down their skills to their children.

The Wayuu have faced challenges such as colonisation, land disputes, and political marginalisation, leading to mistreatment and displacement. Today, many Wayuu communities still struggle with poverty, limited access to clean water, and healthcare, often overlooked by governments and vulnerable to exploitation and environmental threats.

In recent years, the global popularity of Wayuu bags has provided vital support for many in the community. Through the sale of these bags, Wayuu artisans, particularly women, can support their families and preserve their traditions. The growing recognition of Wayuu bags in global fashion has raised both financial support and awareness of the Wayuu’s struggles.
