Wayuu textiles
Wayuu textiles are traditional handmade crafts created by the Wayuu people, an indigenous group from the La Guajira region of Colombia and Venezuela. These textiles are known for their vibrant colors and intricate patterns, often reflecting the cultural heritage and beliefs of the Wayuu community.
The most recognized form of Wayuu textiles is the mochila, a woven bag that serves both practical and artistic purposes. Each mochila is unique, showcasing the skill of the artisan and often telling a story or representing personal or communal symbols.
