The Legend
Once upon a time, a spider known as Walekerü taught a little girl her most precious skill : the art of weaving.
The day that little girl became a woman,
the spider left, leaving her and her people
a gifted treasure : the technique of Wayúu.
The artisans
Colombia is host to 65 unique tribes, each one having their own personal beliefs, language, craftsmanship, and respect for nature.
