In Colombia, a bag is called a mochila.

In recent years, hand-woven Wayuu bags woven by the Wayuu people have spread all over the world, and Mochira is now made in various regions as Colombia's representative handicraft .

We selected Mochira, which is made in a small town called Chorrera in the north.
The main industry in this area is knitted products made using traditional crochet techniques.
Craftsmen from the North Atlantic region came together to establish the Chorrera Craftsmen's Association, and are working to promote and revitalize original knit products in order to preserve traditional techniques.

Mochila, designed by Mochila Market, which supports this activity, is characterized by its chic design.
The nuanced color scheme blends easily into the Japanese landscape, and the simple design for everyday use gives a sophisticated impression even to casual styles.

Mochira, which starts from the bottom with crochet, is tightly woven with water-repellent acrylic thread and is very durable.
The main body of the bag is knitted by women, and the shoulder straps, which require extra strength, are the work of men.
Please take a look at the video of the powerful handiwork.
The even, machine-like weave combines beauty and functionality. Even if you put a lot of things in it, it won't sink or dig into your shoulders, so you can carry it comfortably.

It has a capacity of 800ml, which is large enough to hold everything you need, such as your personal bottle, long wallet, smartphone, compact camera, towel, eco bag, and pocketable raincoat.

It can be folded compactly, so it's recommended for trips where you don't want to add to your luggage but still want to bring a few bags.
It can be used as a bag to carry your personal belongings when traveling or walking around town.

*The patterns on the bottom are assorted.

- Spraying with waterproof or water repellent spray before use will repel rainwater, prevent stains, and prevent color transfer to clothes.
・We recommend using a weak alkaline bar soap for sebum stains on the handle, etc.
・For partial stains, place a cloth on the back, dampen a towel with water and apply a neutral detergent, and pat it on the surface to lift the stain without rubbing. Be sure to remove any detergent by dabbing the finish with a damp towel.
・We recommend washing by hand, but when putting it in the washing machine, please use the hand wash cycle and be sure to put it in a laundry net. Shortening the dehydration time will prevent the product from losing its shape. When drying, please dry in the shade to prevent sunburn. To prevent color fading, please refrain from using detergents containing bleach or soaking the product. We recommend washing separately.
