Traditional Wayuú Bag Pülaa (Power)

This medium-sized Wayúu bag is a handcrafted masterpiece made from a unique material: the chaguar tree. This tree, which thrives in arid and dry climates, provides the fibers that form this piece. The fibers are extracted through a meticulous ancestral process that requires precision, skill, and patience.

The bag design features a kanaá (geometric patterns or compositions found in Wayúu mochilas) traditionally reserved for authorities and high-ranking members of the Wayúu community. Its structure symbolizes power and distinction.

Perfect for carrying your essentials, its understated design and gray-toned color palette make this piece of art a versatile choice for any occasion, from daily use to special events. Along Colombia's coast, it is common for men to use this type of bag during significant celebrations, such as weddings, confirmations, or birthdays.
