About
We believe that buying handbags should be carefree and fun. It should spark and leave you happy about the way you look. A bag isn’t just a thing that you purchase, it is a part of who you are and what you believe in. If it interest you to know where your product comes from and feel empowered by supporting the person whose hands it was made by, this is the bag for you!
The Wayuu mochila (bag) is a sincere expression of a handcrafted art that dates back many centuries. Recognized for their lively colors and patterns, each mochila is hand crocheted and unique --- no two bags are alike. As you hold a mochila, it is our hope you feel the labor and artistry the Wayuu women have knitted into your bag. Your mochila symbolizes your support of keeping a beautiful tradition alive and of empowerment that expands across the globe.
Your Ideal Craft also offers locally handcrafted products that uses the Mochila crochet technique or the Tapestry technique. You may see the available items under category "Ganchil-IYO". These are items handmade with passion and love by me - Marie.
