Guambiana shoulder bag (Green & Mustard)

This craft was handwoven by a female head-of-the-household who belongs to the Misak Indigenous Tribe from the Cauca Department in Colombia. 

They belong to a group comprised by 30 women who seek to pass on their art and trade to upcoming generations and strengthen their cultural identity, thus avoiding it from falling into oblivion. 

This also brings them economic self-sufficiency. These shoulderbags, made either with wool or thread, often depict stories told by their elders as well as legends from mother Earth
