Susu Bag by the Wayuu Taya Foundation
| By: Darlene B. | ||
If you’re already familiar with the Wayuu Taya Foundation, you know that there’s a lot more behind this knit purse than meets the eye. Created nine years ago by a Venezuelan model, the name of the organization actually translates to “I am indigenous.” Each handbag is made by (yes) indigenous artisans in the area who are weaving their way to a better life while immortalizing their culture in these bags. Available in bright and colorful patterns as well as more subdued and neutral colors, finding only one that you like will be your biggest challenge. The Susu is a grounded bag based in an Aztec black and white pattern. Check out the other designs in the collection and know that when you purchase one, you are supporting the arts as well as a group of people who are working on changing their lives. Right now you can go to shopbop.com and pick one on sale for just $122.50.
