Let customers speak for us
from 17 reviewsBeautiful colors and perfect size! It was worth the wait!
Love it, just wish strap was a little longer. The colors are beautiful together!
These bags from LakaChaka are the absolute best! They are so elegant and beautiful, and super sturdy! I have like 5 of them now, including several cross body bags and the wonderful big tote that is in the picture. They are really great for everything! I bought a few of them at the DC Holiday Market (so great) and the rest here on line - Cristina is wonderful at helping with the process, and I love learning about the indigenous makers.
I gifted one of the cross bodys to my nephew and he put the baby in it (just for fun) - so cute!! Love these bags and this business!!!
The bag is beautiful and very well made. I get lots of compliments and questions about where it came from. I always tell them the website of the bags.
The pink and yellow bag is beautifully made and tightly woven so it will be sturdy and I can use it for many years! The pattern is very fun and well-executed.
Absolutely wonderful experience. Not only is the bag beautiful and extremely well made but working with Cristina who personalized the bad was an added bonus. Looking forward to buying another bag in the future.
I love it! It was a difficult decision because there were 4 i liked - very happy with my choice
I brought this tote on a weekend trip and it was the perfect travel bag—super lightweight, packed flat in my suitcase, and looked amazing with every outfit. I’m obsessed.
I’ve never had a bag that felt so personal. You can feel the energy in every stitch. I’m proud to carry something handmade by a Wayuu woman.
Cristina picked one just for me and she nailed it. It’s a work of art—I can’t believe how much detail goes into these bags.
People literally stop me in the street to ask where I got my bag. It’s that good.
As soon as I tried it on, I knew—this was my bag. It’s bold, colorful, and so well made. Everyone keeps asking me where I got it.
I’m a drummer and needed something bold but practical. This bag is both. I love knowing it was handmade by a real woman in Colombia.
I bought mine at Eastern Market and couldn’t stop thinking about it! It’s the perfect size and feels so special. I wear it every day.
This bag makes me feel very special—it’s like carrying culture
