Crochet This bag was lovingly handmade by Wayuu indigenous women. Their creativity, expertise and learning abilities are reflected in the quality of their handicrafts. A high-quality bag is characterized by a tight weave and is created using three techniques: vertical weaving, "atulush" knotting and crocheting. With this project, Mama Tierra offers financial independence to indigenous women in La Guajira, an area between Colombia and Venezuela.
Design by Coral Hernandez Coral Hernandez Finol creates the Mama Tierra designs with passion. One important source of inspiration for her designs is the living environment of the Wayuu.
