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 brown, black and beige wool

PATTERN & MEANING:

"ZIKAMU" mean worm in Arhuaco language. Transformation and Renewal: In many cultures, the worm is seen as a symbol of the earth and associated with growth and renewal. Since worms play a crucial role in the natural process of decomposition and soil fertility, they are often linked to the ideas of regeneration and the cycle of life and death.

MEASUREMENTS:

Size: MEDIUM
Strap: Length 104cm x Width 8cm
Bag Body: Height 25cm x Width 25cm

NOTES:
Strap lengths vary — some mochilas are designed for the shoulder, others can be worn cross body. Please check the measurements to find your perfect fit.

We do our best to show the true colours, but depending on your screen or lighting, they may look slightly different. We recommend reviewing all product photos and videos.
