Questions about Products
Are these authentic Wayuu backpacks?
100% YES. Each one is handwoven by Wayuu women in La Guajira, Colombia, over 20-30 days. We work directly with the artisans, without intermediaries or counterfeit products.
Why are they limited in quantity? Will my favorite design return?
A: Each backpack is unique, a dream woven in yarn. Once a design sells out, it's gone forever! That's why our customers check the website daily.
How do I take care of my Wayuu backpack?
Clean with cold water and mild soap. Air dry. Avoid washing machines/dryers. Your backpack will become more beautiful with time, like a fine wine or a great story!
What is the difference between a Susu backpack and a regular one?
Susu = double yarn = thicker, stronger, and with vibrant colors that last for decades. Regular = single yarn = lighter but just as strong.
Can men use these backpacks?
Of course! Our unisex designs are perfect for everyone. Ideal for festivals, travel, or everyday use – men use them as bags for walks, the gym, cameras, diapers, and more!
