ABOUT WAYUU CULTURE
The Wayuu Artisans
Many traditions and legends exist around the weaving of handbags…
In the far northern part of Colombia live the Wayuus, an indigenous tribe of 500,000 people. Because their lands are isolated and arid, outside civilization has had limited influence on the people living there.
Wayuu traditions, languages, and beliefs are transmitted generation after generation. Specifically, weaving plays a very important role in Wayuu culture as women learn to weave at a very early age. It is said, “to be a woman is to know how to weave”.
