Traditional Wayuú Bag Jouktai (Wind)

Discover this traditional wayuú bag, a unique handcrafted piece that blends tradition, cultural significance, and everyday functionality.

Colors that Speak of History and Spirituality
The white color of this bag symbolizes beauty and spiritual connection, a shade reserved in the Wayuú community for important rituals. On the other hand, beige highlights the authenticity of Wayuú culture, as the natural fibers remain undyed, reflecting a deep respect for materials and traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Designs with Meaning: The Connection Between Nature and Community
This bag features three types of patterns, each with special symbolism:

• Zigzag lines: Represent the air currents that sweep through La Guajira, a region of great significance to the Wayuú people.
• Triangles: Symbolize the diversity of individuals within a community, reflecting their differences and unique qualities.
  Together, this design pays homage to the ecosystems surrounding indigenous territories and the harmonious coexistence of individuals. Despite our physical, ideological, or political differences, we all share the same air and work together to ensure the survival of the community.
