Kaaraiuya

Mochila Mosaico · Óxido

Rust and walnut on a black rim — earth tones, closely set.

CHF 59€65

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

Scattered figures in rust, walnut, sand and cream, held at the top by a black rim — the colours of the dry Guajira. The contrast stays warm rather than loud, and the tassels pick up every tone of the body once more. One of a kind: the figures never repeat 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 53 cm.

Typical for size Small: Ø 10–13 cm, height 14–18 cm, strap 90–110 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.
