Frequently asked questions
How much of the proceeds go back to the village?
We are committed to linking the world directly with our artisans through ethical sourcing and honest production. Our WYU handmade bags are made by artisans of the Wayuu tribe in Colombia. We work closely with three communities and their leaders under fair trade guidelines. With each bag you purchase, we are able to supply a steady income to each of our artisans and positively impact their communities.
Can I customize my own design?
Yes, you can create variants of our designs at no extra cost. If you want a special design, we will add a $20 fee to the closest model in our lineup. To customize your own bag, please send us an email at info@wyuhandmade.com with your requirements.
Can I pre-order?

How do I clean my bag?
You can use handbag cleaning wipes. These wipes help you get the day-to-day touch-ups and remove surface stains. Avoid using the washing machine. Instead, do it by hand with soft soap using a scrub or a soft brush. Then, hang it in a place where it keeps its original shape to dry it. Preferably in a shade. You can also dry clean it.
