Meet the hands behind the mochilas
Behind every piece, there are people
Stories woven through generations.
From the mountains of Colombia, each mochila carries a story of ancestral knowledge, traditional craftsmanship, and the skilled hands that create it.
Arhuaco Community
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia
High in the mountains of Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, SEDA collaborates with a collective of over 50 Arhuaca women who continue the generations old tradition of weaving mochilas by hand.
From raising sheep and collecting wool to preparing, spinning and knitting each bag, the process brings together the skills and knowledge of the community. The women carefully transform raw wool into intricate mochilas, each one reflecting their craftsmanship, cultural heritage and connection to the land.
More than just a bag, the Arhuaco mochila is a meaningful expression of identity, tradition and the stories passed down through generations.

We work directly with artisans, families and communites without unnecessary middlemen.
