Diamond Mola Caña Flecha Tote with Ring Handle

Two woven diamond medallions frame a striped centre panel, surrounded by zigzag and golden-brown weaves. A striped mola-style tab in red, blue, orange and yellow fastens the front. Striking from every angle, with zigzag-woven side panels.

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.
