The Mara Bag is a bold, oversized Wayuu mochila handwoven by a skilled female artisan in Colombia — the kind of bag that walks into a room before you do. Rich color, intricate pattern, and the kind of craftsmanship that only comes from hands that have been perfecting this tradition for generations.
Originating with the indigenous Wayuu women of La Guajira, the mochila is one of Colombia's most celebrated artisan traditions. Each bag takes up to two weeks to complete by hand, and no two are ever exactly alike.
Ships from New Orleans, Louisiana. As seen in Elle and Paper Magazine.
