From La Guajira to You
Each Una Hebra bag is handmade by a Wayuu artisan in La Guajira, a desert peninsula in northern Colombia. The Wayuu people have woven these bags for generations, passing down techniques from mother to daughter.
We work directly with artisans to source bags woven using the traditional single-thread technique. This slower, more refined method produces a tighter weave and smoother finish than the common two-thread approach.

UNA HEBRA (Single Thread)
A single strand is used throughout the weave, creating a denser, smoother surface. This technique requires more time and skill, resulting in bags that take 30–50 days to complete.
DOS HEBRAS (Double Thread)
Two strands are woven together, creating a slightly looser weave that's faster to produce. These bags honor the traditional technique most commonly seen in the market.
Why Una Hebra
