Mama Tierra uses GOTS-certified cotton yarn. Since most indigenous textiles are made from plastic-based yarns, the production of the Mama Tierra accessories, avoids using fossil-fuel by-products contributing to a reduction in plastic waste in indigenous land. Machine washable, handwash cycle only. Make it lie flat on a drying rack or hang to air dry.
Mama Tierra uses leftover natural leather to make leather products. By doing this we prevented such remaining pieces from going into the garbage. Use a lightly damp cloth to gently wipe the surface if needed.

Collab: Anna Peter-Breton for Mama Tierra by Marie De La Roche
Sustainable bags produced using cow leather from certified tanneries promoting rational use of materials. The bags have been exquisitely designed by Marie de la Roche. Anna Peter-Breton, in her turn, translated the spirit of La Guajira into five breathtaking watercolors. The artisans of Mama Tierra, with their hands guided by a deep connection to the culture and beauty of La Guajira, have transformed the essence of Anna's watercolors into unique tapestry pieces.
Available in two sizes, Madre and Niño, representing the tender bond between mother and child. All sales proceeds will go to the Newborn Project, supporting mothers-to-be and newborns in need!
