From the “Mayi Mochila Monocromático” Collection.

By Madre's "Small Mayi" Mochila is part of the Mayi Monochromatic Collection and features weaving elements and graphics curated By Madre. The collection is named after the founder's aunt. 

The "mochila" is a cultural emblem of Colombia and one of the country's most recognizable craft objects, woven and crocheted by hand in line with ancient techniques. Traditionally, the 'mochila' comes in specific shapes, colors, and materials attributed to the tribes that made them–historically, these characteristics identified the tribe of the person wearing it. Today, they come in all shapes and sizes.

By Madre Mochilas are identifiable because of their extremely high quality, elegant proportions, and evergreen rich color palette in which they are woven, which are unique to the brand.

By Madre's Mochilas are all hand-made in Colombia by artisans that are part of the Wayuu tribe. This product is cultural denomination certified and made by collectives of women who pass down this tradition from generation to generation. By Madre has specifically chosen elements to create our perfect formats, formats, and craft techniques which make-up our Mochila collections. Purchasing this product allows these incredible artisans to continue to pass down and preserve this tradition for years to come.

Care: Mochilas may be wiped down or gently washed on their own with soap and tepid water and hung to air dry. Do not put in the washing machine. They have been pre-washed so shrinkage and bleeding should not occur, but it might. Like any object made by hand, there may be inconsistencies in color, thread-length, and potential flyways. This is how you can tell it is an authentically hand-made product. Trim carefully as needed.
