Rooted in Australia, Inspired by Colombia

Tayrona is more than just a name—it’s a tribute to the rich cultural heritage of Colombia. At the heart of our brand are the Wayuu Indigenous artisans, whose intricate weaving techniques have been passed down for generations.

Each Tayrona bag is a woven story of tradition and legacy. Handwoven by Wayuu women, every intricate pattern carries the essence of their culture, each color reflecting their deep connection to nature. Their time-honored weaving technique transforms every bag into a living tapestry of heritage and artistry.

At Tayrona, we honor these artisans and their craft, ensuring that every creation is not only a beautiful statement piece but also a testament to culture, tradition, and sustainability.

The Wayuu: A Culture Woven in Tradition

In La Guajira, Colombia, where desert dunes meet the Caribbean coast, the Wayuu people have upheld a matriarchal society rich in artistry and tradition. Their Tayrona bags are more than accessories—they are woven legacies, each design carrying stories of identity, resilience, and heritage.

Handwoven by Wayuu women, these intricate bags take up to two weeks to craft, with patterns reflecting their deep cultural roots. Beyond their beauty, Tayrona bags provide a vital source of livelihood, sustaining artisan communities.

At Tayrona, we are committed to fair trade and ethical sourcing, ensuring every purchase directly supports Wayuu artisans and helps preserve their remarkable culture.

Our commitment

At Tayrona, ethical sourcing and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. We are deeply committed to supporting Colombia’s Indigenous communities, ensuring that every purchase directly contributes to their well-being.

A portion of every sale is reinvested into initiatives that empower artisans with fair job opportunities while providing remote communities with access to clean water, food, and essential resources.

With Tayrona, you’re not just buying a bag—you’re making a meaningful impact, preserving culture, and uplifting the hands that weave each piece with love.
