Description

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, chocolate brown and beige

PATTERN & MEANING:
"PENSAMIENTO" means thoughts and wisdom in Spanish, the symbol in the middle of this mochila represents the thoughts, thinkings and wisdom of the elderlies in the communties.

MEASUREMENTS:

Size: LARGE
Strap: Length 91cm x Width 9.5cm

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.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PIECE

Woven in the Sierra Nevada

The mochila is deeply embedded in Arhuaca textile culture in Colombia’s Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

Each bag is built slowly through the repetition of thousands of individual stitches, transforming fibre into an object that is both functional and expressive. Patterns, forms and techniques are learned through community and carried forward from one generation to the next.
