Urraichi – Wayuu Mochila Crossbody Bag Size:S The weaving technique and patternsInspiration: Poui Tree Urraichi in Wayuunaiki Cultural significance: Each June, the Poui tree bursts into golden bloom, decorating La Guajiras dry tropical forest with an abundance of bright, yellow, bell shaped flowers for just a few weeks. To the Wayuu, it represents both beauty and strength, its blossoms a symbol of renewal and its branches a source of firewood and material for building their homes.
