If you love handmade unique pieces, then this beautiful clutch is for you. Crafted by indigenous artisans of the Wayuu Tribe in Colombia, this bag recreates with intricate patterns the life and beliefs of this culture. Each bag is created using the crochet technique with precision and durability by a single member of the community. 

The creation and meaning of each envelope have been passed down through many generations. The symbolism behind their woven patterns and forms, along with the intentions of each artisan while making each bag, make these small bags a wearable work of art and culture. This clutch is versatile, fashionable, trendy, and great for any occasion. 

We travel and work directly with a small group of entrepreneurial indigenous women heads of household who craft these bags. It is heritage, lifestyle, and economic fulfillment for this community. 

Part of  Hands of the People’s mission is to support and empower small and at-risk communities such as the Wayuu Tribe. The lack of governmental support and harsh desert environment make these bags practically their only sustainable economic means of supporting themselves.
