Wayuu bags quickly rose as a fashion symbol hugging the shoulders of youths. They are brightly hue, strong to last and offer an easy-going feel.
I have fallen in love with these fashionable bags just the first day I have seen them. To be honest, at the first day out it rather looked to be a bit over conspicuous for my introvert self but well, I just grew easier with my Wayuu bag over time. Today I have as many as five of colourful exuberance of Wayuu bags.
A Down To Earth Story Behind
Personal preferences apart, every Wayuu bag has a down to earth story to tell and that make them more interesting. Wayuu is the name of a tribe who produce these bags as local handicrafts till today. The hardworking women of indigenous Wayuu tribe in Columbia weave these bags and unlike other factory produced fashion accessories, each of the bags is unique in either look or feel or in both. Do you know, it takes more than a fortnight to produce a large bag of this sort by a local tribal woman? This intricate, time consuming and elaborate craftsmanship make these bags so special as a fashion accessory.
Bright And Densely Structured
The bright earthen hues of these bags always make my heart leap. The so-called civilized choice of drab and neutral colors has no place here. It may look stunning a bit eye-grabbing at first look but over time it actually makes a cool fashion statement. Or, what about the densely weaved textures gleaming with the hues? Well, the overlapping hues contrasted with dense textures make the perfect cushion feel I prefer so much.
Each Bag Has A Unique Design
These one-of-a-kind and handwoven bags always carry the signature elements of tribal women who weave and produces it. Actually, the living emotions of the tribal women help them express themselves with an array of geometric symbols found in their environment and nature representing animals, plants and stars. Upon these environmentally inspired themes, they pour their individual sense of designs and deliver a quite unique look and feel.
Fashionable Fabric Built Strong
You may travel around the world and sourced some beautiful fabrics including a few from the indigenous populations but nothing would equal the colorful exuberance of Wayuu bags. The exceptionally rich cotton materials and wider shoulder strap will further create an easy going, campus-hopping feel typical of students. There is a fashion accessory that originated from indigenous productions and could always keep its authentic charm. Well, Plush, surreal and always down to earth, that it the best way to describe Wayuu.
Let us now consider some practical aspects. First of all, it is stronger as a hammock and secondly, inside the bag, you have wider space to keep belongings for a short trip even. You can just use it anywhere and when it comes to washing, it can be washed just as any cotton garments. Wayuu quickly became a buzzing fashion accessory for both caring and careless youth mainly because of its ease of use and quite stunning down to earth appeal.
