Arhuaca mochilas

Weaving Stories, Cultivating Culture.
Arhuaca Mochilas (bags) are traditional handwoven bags originating from indigenous communities in Colombia. These particular bags are associated with the Arhuaco people, an indigenous group residing in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Mountain range in northern Colombia. The Sierra Nevada is a region of great ecological and cultural significance for these communities.
The Arhuaca mochilas are intricately woven by the women of the Arhuaco tribe and hold deep cultural and spiritual significance. Here is a glimpse of the story behind Arhuaca mochilas:
