The Objects
Exclusive Edition 015 \ Arhuaco Mochila
The Arhuacan mochila is knit-woven to communicate a woman's love for her family and their idyllic lifestyle living in harmony with their natural surroundings in Northern Colombia. Their most notable designs are fabricated in graphic patterns and fashioned from undyed sheep wool.
The Story
A TIGHT-KNIT BOND WITH NATURE
Clemencia Perez is an Arhuacan mochila knit-weaver who runs a women’s mochila cooperative on her ancestral lands between the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains and the Caribbean Sea. The predominant design language of the mochila arhuaca is a geometric pattern made from the natural woolen colors from sheep first introduced by the Spanish explorers to the region some five hundred years ago.
