Black & Natural Sunrise Teardrop Caña Flecha Handbag

A monochrome sunrise. Arcs of black, cream and salt-and-pepper weaves rise from the base, with fine sawtooth borders that show off every braid. Smart enough for the office, striking enough for dinner.

Who made it

This bag was handwoven by the artisans of Fundación La Otra Vuelta, a non-profit foundation of 46 artisan associates in Sincelejo, Colombia. Community elders braid the caña flecha, a native Colombian palm fibre, by hand, strand by strand, and the foundation's artisans turn those braids into the bag you'll be carrying. The foundation pays its artisans a fairer price for every braid, so your bag helps keep a living tradition, and the people behind it, thriving.
