Mochila Greca · Multicolour

A meander that never arrives — blue, orange, magenta, olive.

CHF 89€85

This piece exists exactly once — it's only reserved when you complete your order.

The greca band turns in square corners around the whole body, each row in a different colour: dove blue, orange, magenta, olive. No panel repeats exactly — the colour changes wherever the yarn runs out. 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

StrapHeightØ Diameter

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 52 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.

Care: Hand-wash cold, dry flat, do not wring.
