Artist’s Statement
Wayuu Bohoo Bags is a London based start-up created to bring to the world the beauty and craftsmanship of the Wayúu artisans through their finest creation: The crocheted Wayuu bag (mochila).
The Wayúu are an ethnic tribe who live in the Guajira peninsula, located in the northern tip of Colombia in the Caribbean Sea. For the Wuayúu people, weaving is more than a cultural practice and heritage of their ancestors, it is a way of conceiving and expressing life as they feel and desire it.
The Wayuu bag (mochila Wayúu) is the highest expression of the Wayúu culture, it is crocheted by hand only, and crafting each one piece can take approximately 20 days. Colourful and stylish, each of Wayúu Bohoo Bag is an authentic fashion statement at any season.
