Blue and Ivory Crocheted Shoulder Bag, "Seaside Stripe"

Soft cadet blue and ivory are an appealing combination in this hand-crocheted acrylic bucket bag or mochila. Working to preserve their cultural identity and artisanal traditions, artisans of the Wayuu Community create the shoulder bag. The Wayuu are an indigenous people located on the Guajira Peninsula in northern Colombia. Legend has it that a spider named Wale Keru taught a Wayuu woman how to weave and crochet. The unlined shoulder bag closes with a tassel-accented drawstring.
