Fibre: Chaguar
Technique: Hand-spun and Hand-woven
Origin: Wichí Community, Northeastern Argentina
Care: Only spot clean

Our bags and clutches are hand-woven by the indigenous Wichí women of Northeastern Argentina. Made from fibers of wild chaguar, a sturdy local variety of bromeliad, each clutch is unique.

The Wichí community has inhabited the vast and sparsely populated Argentinian Chaco region since time immemorial and to this day has managed to maintain a deep connection with the natural world. The community's ancient weaving technique and unique relationship with the chaguar plant are an integral part of their tradition and cultural heritage.

Every step of production, from seasonally extracting the fibers out of carefully selected chaguar leaves, to weaving and coloring them in soft patterns and warm tones that evoke the region's majestic landscape, is informed and inspired by the local environment. 

At Morena Linda we sustainably source our products in collaboration with local artisan communities at a fair price. Together we keep their ancient skills alive.
