The Younger Brothers Basic Lightweight Mochila 106 - Authentic Kogi Goods

This handwoven mochila was made by Kogi artisans in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, using natural fibers and ancestral techniques passed down through generations. Its wide, open weave makes it especially practical—ideal for carrying fresh produce or beach essentials. If your items have sand on them, the loose weave allows it to fall through easily, keeping the bag clean and airy.

With its natural beige tone, this mochila carries a simple, earthy beauty. It’s soft, lightweight, and unstructured—designed to be worn cross-body or over the shoulder and shaped by everyday use.

Each mochila is one of a kind. No two are ever exactly alike, as each is woven individually by hand. Slight variations in color, shape, or pattern are part of what make every piece unique—a true expression of Kogi tradition and identity.

Proceeds from the sale of this mochila go directly to the Kogi mothers and women who craft them over more than a month of dedicated work. Your purchase also helps support ongoing preservation and conservation efforts led by the Kogi people to protect their land, culture, and way of life in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

With good care, this bag will last for years and serve many purposes. More than a practical object, it’s a connection to a living culture rooted in balance, simplicity, and deep respect for the natural world.
