Geometric Pinwheel Caña Flecha Shoulder Bag with Beaded Handles

Pattern heaven. The front mixes zigzags, stripes, ladders and a woven pinwheel; the back switches to crisp horizontal stripes. Finished with soft black rope handles, carved wooden rings and natural and dark wooden beads.

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.
