About us
WAYA: MEANS US IN WAYUNIKI (WAYUU NATIVE LANGUAGE). WAYA It is not a brand that can be described in something exactly, on the contrary, we declare it diverse. Each handmade fabric that is created here shows us that connection that exists between the woman who created the Wayuu Mochila and the woman who later, with her style, carries it around the world, in order to affirm that they are the same and in their authenticity only They seek to keep the history of our roots alive. We believe that in every woman there is no self, but rather we. The representation of those two women who inhabit each one of us, two sides of the same coin, made up of an ancestral heritage, a deep and wise root, away from noise and connected to the earth; and the other, fast and determined, that keeps pace with the city and knows the world without fear. That is why, in each piece we bring to life, these two truths are represented: the weaving made slowly and with intention captures the essence of the weavers and their wisdom, and the design molds this authenticity to make it shine in the modern world. . Thus, each stitch is a meeting of two worlds, an invitation to that "we" that we have inside. Each piece, a portal of connection that manages to take desert women around the world who will never physically leave it, but who are linked to its threads, and awaken that ancestrality that inhabits modern women and that reunites them with the earth.
