Presenting a Emma Bag, meticulously 100% handwoven by the Wayuu indigenous people of La Guajira state in Colombia.
This exquisite piece is crafted using a two-strand crochet technique, showcasing a striking red and beige checkered pattern.
The bag’s dimensions are practical, with a 9 inches (23cm) diameter at the base and an equal height of 10.6 inches (27cm).
It is designed with versatility in mind, featuring two handles: a longer 41 inches (105cm) strap for cross-body or shoulder wear, and a shorter 70 cm handle for shoulder or hand carrying options.
A drawstring closure with elegantly tasseld tassels adds a unique touch, draping gracefully on the sides. For added convenience, it includes an internal pocket suitable for securing documents or a cell phone.
This bag is also available in other colours besides red: grey, green, blue and lavender, all with beige as a complementary colour.
Introducing the Emma Bag, an exquisite Wayuu bag that captures the perfect balance between Colombian tradition and contemporary style. Handwoven by indigenous Wayuu artisans from La Guajira, Colombia, the Emma Bag is a reflection of cultural heritage, superior craftsmanship, and ethical fashion. As part of our exclusive collection of Colombian Wayuu bags, it showcases the depth and beauty of Colombian weaving bag traditions.
Each Emma Bag is a handcrafted bag, made using the traditional two-strand crochet technique—a time-intensive method passed down through generations of Wayuu women. This technique creates a strong, richly textured weave that not only ensures durability but also adds a luxurious feel to every handmade bag.
The Wayuu bag tradition is deeply embedded in the culture of La Guajira, and the Emma Bag is a beautiful extension of this legacy.
The Emma Wayuu Bag is instantly recognizable by its bold checkered pattern. The original red and beige combination offers a striking contrast, ideal for making a confident fashion statement. This timeless pattern blends indigenous motifs with modern aesthetics, making the Emma Bag suitable for a wide range of occasions—from casual brunches to stylish getaways.
Beyond red, the Emma Bag is also available in other stunning color palettes including grey, green, blue, and lavender, each paired with beige to highlight the intricacy of the design. This variety ensures that you’ll find an Emma Wayuu bag that complements your unique sense of style.
The Emma Bag is more than just beautiful, it’s designed for everyday use. Measuring 9 inches (23 cm) in diameter and 10.6 inches (27 cm) in height, it offers ample space to carry your essentials like a wallet, phone, sunglasses, and more, without being overly bulky.
For added versatility, the Emma bag features two types of straps:
A long, 41-inch (105 cm) strap that allows you to wear it crossbody or over the shoulder for hands-free convenience.
A shorter, 70 cm handle for carrying it elegantly by hand.
This dual-carrying option enhances both comfort and function, giving the Emma Bag a flexibility that few handcrafted bags can match.
One of the most charming features of the Emma Wayuu Bag is its drawstring closure. Adorned with handmade tassels, the closure doesn’t just secure your belongings, it adds movement, texture, and a touch of elegance to the overall design. Inside the bag, a small pocket is discreetly sewn into the lining, perfect for holding small essentials such as your cell phone, ID, or documents.
The Emma Bag is more than just a fashion piece, it’s a living expression of Colombia’s rich artisanal legacy. Every stitch reflects the stories, landscapes, and ancestral wisdom of the Wayuu people.
As a true Colombian weaving bag, the Emma carries the soul of its origin in every thread. To wear it is to carry a piece of Colombia — a tribute to culture, community, and the enduring artistry of handmade tradition.
