EXCLUSIVE TO BOMBABY

A pastel-infused woven bag with pom pom drawstring and delicious flashes of baby pinks, powdery blues and soft beige panels. With intricate, hand-stitched details and made in tiny, exclusive batches, these head-turning artisanal bags are 'pinch-me' special.

So very pretty and good enough to demolish, the 'Milkshake' pom-pom bucket bag is brought to life by talented Wayuu women in the La Guajira peninsula in northern Colombia. This 100% organic 'Mochila' bag takes up to 15 days to weave by hand with just a single strand of hand-spun thread, making a very tight and strong weave. 

Working in collaboration with Daniela at the woman-owned brand Castellano in Colombia, we are thrilled to bring you this exclusive, carefully curated collection of pastel-bright and neon-infused Mochila bags in simply extraordinary colours.

Only four are available of each.

The Story:

• The Mochila bag is made by the Arhuaco people, woven only by the women.
• Each bag is though to preserve the thoughts of the Arhuaco women who would traditionally weave them for their husbands, enabling them to record their thoughts within their very fibres and thus maintain a connection with their husband for a lifetime.
• There are strong spiritual and cosmological meanings to these bags, beyond the aesthetics.
• Made from 100% organic sheep's wool.
• Every 4 months, in a new moon, the Arhuaco women shear the sheep to make thread for their Mochilas.
• The all-natural colours and pigments are from plants, roots, bark & wood.
