Practical clutch made with the ancestral Siira technique using polyacrylic yarn. Ideal to store your small things and always be able to find them!
Siira Technique
Wayuu women use the siira weaving on an upright loom applying a score of intricate textile techniques.
They manipulate their warps and wefts steadily, with enormous patience and skill to produce their geometric designs. The newer generations have lost this precolonial weaving skill, only older women are still able to weave siira belts.
A technography of the Siira technique has been written by Mirja Wark and the book is available here.
