ClaudiaG Lush Kankuamo Small Mochila Handwoven Art

To carry a handwoven Kankuamo mochila is to carry a work of art. Each piece is carefully crafted by indigenous communities in the North Coast of Colombia, utilizing techniques passed down for generations.

The Kankuamo community, located in the south-eastern side of The Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, is responsible for creating this fascinating mochila. The crafting process takes about 3-6 weeks, depending on the design and size.

Men contribute by transforming the raw natural fiber from the Maguey leaf into thread, while women take charge of the bag's design and weaving. This integration of cultural identity, knowledge, and passion results in unique, handcrafted pieces.

Add this exquisite handwoven Kankuamo mochila to your collection and carry a piece of Colombian heritage with you wherever you go.
