Description
We are in love with this family basket handwoven bag. Created by artisans from indigenous communities in Colombia while portraying powerful thoughts onto their material creations. This basket bag is beautiful, unique, and full of meaning.
“Saparro Ayllu Kutijkunapa” (Family Basket) – This design depicts reciprocity. Every time you meet someone, there is an exchange. You give something away and you also receive something generously, so you return to your home with the same basket but now full of new energies.
Handmade with love,

Washing Care
Hand wash is the best option to wash your mochila. For stains, you do not need to wash the whole bag, just wash the dirty area with a soft bristle brush and rub it with detergent. Let the bag dry in a shade (no direct sunlight). Avoid washing machines.
STYLE IT WITH…
Style the family basket handwoven bag with the Viko Dress, Kanu Kaftan, or the Dune off-white top. They look fabulous with the bikinis too. Check the Kyanne Eco Bikini Set and the Daisy Eco Bikini Set and become the queen of the beach club – with your own Cotton Sun Turban as a crown.

ABOUT LATIDO
At Latido (‘heartbeat’ in Spanish) you will find unique handmade pieces that hold a deep intention and carry the ancestral wisdom of the indigenous communities in Colombia, South America. They want to connect you directly with the artists and bring to you a piece of art that will resonate with your soul.
It is all about the connection and same as we believe in the power of praying, we believe in the power of creative intention. The artisans when they’re creating these unique pieces are thinking about a particular issue, a particular thought… it might be fertility- something that worries us so much too, it might be Nature, it might be happiness or family relationships. Through their hands and their ancestral wisdom, those pieces are energetically supercharged, and now all that is yours. There is a deeper meaning to life and what surrounds us.
