Wayuu Bag - Handmade by the Wayuu people, an indigenous community found on the Guajira peninsula in northern Colombia. 

Wayúu weaving is rich in its designs, which are called kaanás (art of weaving drawing). This ancient technique is from the pre-Columbian period and is still used to this day. The motifs of these designs are expressions of how the Wayúu interpret elements of their daily life, and are usually geometric compositions that repeat generating a pattern.
