Mochila · Natural Red Orange Blue stripes

Handwoven by Wayuu women in La Guajira, Colombia

This handcrafted bucket bag mochila is crocheted knot by knot by Wayuu women in La Guajira, Colombia, using a traditional weaving technique passed down from mothers to daughters. Designed for real life and rooted in heritage, it’s made for those who love culture, comfort, and style.

Lightweight yet remarkably strong, this mochila moves with you — from your daily flow to travel days and weekend plans. Worn as a shoulder bag or crossbody, it carries your essentials effortlessly while keeping your hands free.

Crafted with premium, colorfast crochet thread, each mochila is handmade using a fine 1–2 mm hook — a meticulous technique that creates a dense, resilient weave. The silhouette feels soft yet structured, holding its shape beautifully while standing up to everyday wear.

Finished with a loom-woven strap known for its strength, a hand-knotted cylindrical cord that cinches securely closed, and a hand-tied tassel topped with a crochet cap, these elements are frequently made by different artisans, each focused on a specific detail.

Machine wash cold, hang dry — real life approved.

📏 Measurements — Please Read Before You Buy

Because every mochila is handmade, fit matters — especially the strap. The strap drop determines where the bag sits on your body, and getting this right makes all the difference between a bag you reach for every day and one that doesn’t feel quite right.

• Strap drop: 21" — measured from the top of the strap to the top of the bag when worn. At this length, the bag typically sits at the hip.
• Bucket height: 10.5"
• Base diameter: 8.5"

How to check your fit: Hold a measuring tape at your shoulder and let it drop to where you’d like the bag to rest. If that distance is anywhere between 19–23", this bag will work beautifully for you — 2 inches above or below the strap drop is a great fit. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help you find the right one.
