Materials

Colorfast and bleed-proof. Wayuu bags are made from high-quality acrylic fiber, which is lightweight, water-resistant, and helps the bag retain its vibrant colors and shape over time. Unlike many natural fibers, the colors do not bleed when wet, making this bag a beautiful companion for beach days, vacations, and everyday adventures.
