KUNSAMU | LARGE | ARHUACA MOCHILA #142

Arhuaca Mochila – Handwoven Wool Bag from Colombia

Our Arhuaca mochilas (mochila means "bag" in Spanish) are made by the Arhuaco people, an Indigenous community from the Sierra Nevada mountains in Colombia, a place known as the heart of the world. Their way of life is deeply connected to nature, and each bag reflects that care and purpose.

We partner directly with a women-led artisan group high up in the mountains. Each mochila is handwoven from natural sheep wool, and can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days to make. No two are the same, each one is full of character, story, and soul.

These bags are super roomy, strong, and weather-resistant. Traditionally, everyone in the community wears them — through all seasons, for all kinds of journeys.

COLOURS:
DArk chocolate, grey, caramel and beige wool

PATTERN & MEANING:
"KUNSAMU" translates to advice in Arhuaco language. The spiritual meaning of advice often revolves around guidance and wisdom.  Connection and Community: Offering and receiving advice can be seen as a way to foster connection and community. In spiritual traditions, community support is often emphasized, and advice serves as a means to help others on their paths and contribute to the collective spiritual growth.
