Hammock Wayúu2

Passed down from generation to generation

The Wayúu cultural heritage, at the heart of traditions, is passed down from generation to generation. It is through a rich variety of weaving techniques that customs are manifested.

The central role of Wayúu women

Wayúu women occupy a central place. They are the protectors of the “Rancherias” and the exclusive artisans of these superb hammocks. In a world sometimes marked by machismo, Wayúu women stand out for their mutual respect and their contribution to the immortalization of their lineage.

The Wayúu artisanal process

The Wayúu artisanal process begins in the heart of the ranches. Women artisans make these pieces of art, often delivered in individual pieces to assemble and sell. However, some groups do not have access to technology or marketing knowledge, forcing them to sell these luxurious Wayúu hammocks, such as the Wayúu2 Hammock, at very low prices.

Transportation challenges and public ignorance

Transportation to urban areas remains a major challenge for this rural-dwelling tribe, while public ignorance persists about the value of handicraft products.

The Age of Social Networks

With the advent of social networks, including “Instagram Stores”, Wayúu online stores were born. However, social media has also introduced fraud issues, often discouraging buyers.
