It is traditionally a colorful bucket bag with a strap and tassels. It is handmade by the Wayuu women and it can be crocheted single-threaded or double threaded. The Wayuu artisans can take up to 25 days to weave a large bag. It is very difficult to find two bags having the same design since the artisan portrays in each bag a different interpretation of the Wayuu worldview, including not only their culture, values and beliefs but also the various forms of their natural surroundings.
