The hand-woven bag 'Mochira' is a representative handicraft of Colombia.

In recent years, hand-woven Wayuu bags woven by the Wayuu people have spread all over the world, and mochira are being made in various regions.

The mochila we sell is made in the small town of Chorrera in northern Colombia.

The main industry in this region is crocheted knitted products.

Under the guidance and management of the Chorrera Craftsmen's Association, we share our original designs with the world.

The production process and the weavers of the bags are introduced here .

The bag part is woven by women, while the shoulder and handle parts, which require strength, are hand-woven by men.

The person who knits the bag, the person who weaves the handle, and the person who connects each item.

Three craftsmen work together to complete each mochira over a period of 8 to 10 days .

There is no looseness or distortion, and the texture is well-proportioned like a machine.

The intricately patterned stitches, which are tightly packed without any gaps, are proof of a skilled craftsman.

Starting with the 23' fall model, the strap has an adjuster that allows you to slide it and adjust the length freely.

You can wear it crossbody or over your shoulder to suit your style.

Pull the four strings on both sides at the same time to close the mouth like a purse.

It has a capacity of 800ml and can hold plenty of things such as your own bottle, long wallet, smartphone, compact camera, towel, eco bag, pocketable raincoat, etc.

It can be folded compactly, so it's convenient to carry around without adding bulk when you're traveling and want to change your bag depending on the situation.

The material is acrylic thread with firm tension. If it gets dirty, you can wash it with water.

To prevent the bottom from sinking, we have included a bottom plate that matches each size.

It will be delivered folded in a special storage bag.
