KOGI MOCHILA
$50 Sold Out
These fique mochila bags were woven by the women of the Kogi tribe living in the Sierra Nevada of Northern Colombia. The process for making the bags starts with the extraction of the fiber from the maguey fique plant and the preparation of natural dyes by members of the community. Each bag is woven by hand and is said to carry the positive desires that the woman imparts into it during its creation. Stories + Objects journeyed into the mountains with offerings to the tribal members to be granted permission to witness their workings and to sell a limited edition selection of fifteen mochila bags available exclusively through S+O. Designs may vary slightly from images shown.
Stories of travel and of people told through the objects they create. Each month a new destination is introduced through a refined, celebratory lens on the world’s most sought-after creators and cultivators.
