About Guajii Design

Guajii is a collection of intricately hand-woven accessories made by Wayuu artisans in the northeast region of La Guajira in Colombia. Inspired by modern designs and using the traditional craft techniques of the region, each Guajii piece prioritizes durable materials and handcrafted construction. Each element in a Guajii piece is thoughtfully sourced and developed along our team of artisans, and due to the artisan production methods employed, each piece is unique. Designed to be worn and enjoyed year after year with durability and quality in mind, our artisans make limited-edition, and one-of-a-kind bags that reflect their cultural heritage. Each piece is made with an awareness of the material and the conscious desire to follow the shapes and forms that emerge. Using time-honored techniques that have been passed down through the generations. With our studio in Amsterdam and our team of artisans in Colombia, Guajii is simultaneously global and local, with culture rooted in heart and soul. Guided by the pursuit of quality and a contemporary feeling, but most importantly to create a continuous positive impact on the communities whose livelihoods depend on their art of working.Read their story
