Hippie Chic: Wayuú Taya Bags

 

 

Hippie chic and a contribution to Wayuú indigenous women go with a $160 purchase of a handmade bag from The Wayuú Foundation.  

These bags are hand-made by Wayuú indigenous women at Shukumajaya, the foundation's women center that helps educate women on parenting and nutrition, family planning and hygiene.

The bags are one-of-a-kind unless noted and make for a unique accessory.
