Mochila Geométrica · Limón
Lemon yellow and magenta — and a band of blue and orange along the base.
CHF 89€85
This piece exists exactly once — it's only reserved when you complete your order.
Dense angular figures in lemon yellow and magenta, cut by thin lines of green and orange — and towards the base, a band of petrol blue that grounds the whole drawing. The iwouya patterns are among the most demanding weaves out of La Guajira: a great deal of figure in very little ground. The braided strap and the tassels pick up every colour of the body once more. One of a kind: the run of colour never repeats exactly.
Fair & direct.
This piece was sourced in La Guajira through a direct partnership — with a commitment to fair pay. As soon as we can introduce the weavers with their consent, we'll share their stories here.

How we measure
Height is measured without strap or tassels. The strap length is the full band — the drop (shoulder to bag) is about half of that, here roughly 50 cm.
Typical for size Medium: Ø 15–18 cm, height 20–24 cm, strap 85–110 cm. Every mochila is made by hand, so an individual piece can sit a little outside these figures.
All measurements are approximate. As each mochila is handmade and one of a kind, its pattern, colours and exact dimensions may vary slightly from the photograph shown.
