For a long time, I have been asking myself the following question:
Why in other countries do men not use the Colombian Wayuu Handbag? The most obvious answer is that for cultural reasons its use has not yet been implemented.
As a result of this concern, I am making the proposal to be used in each country where we are reaching with this maximum expression of Wayuu culture. Well, a man without prejudice to being criticized or censured could use the handbag, like a briefcase, or like a backpack that is carried on the back.
It is said that the handbag has been used since ancient times, when man had to carry his few belongings on his back when moving around. Over time, man had the need to transport heavier and heavier things. The use of backpacks to carry heavy loads was usually preferred because the shoulders supported the weight better than the hands.
Wars and armies have been the ones that have impelled the different advances for the creation of a variety of designs and styles that exist today. Likewise, the use of bags, backpacks and briefcases that have been implemented throughout history, are intended to meet the needs of daily use and / or executive activities.
Today, through this proposal, we want to motivate men to wear the Wayuu handbags in recognition of the hard work that the Wayuu population has developed for hundreds of years. In addition, when carrying a handbag, a contribution of great historical, cultural and economic value to the Wayuu culture would be made.
The Wayuu handbags has the feature that can be hung on one shoulder, or crossed for comfort. And if you prefer, you can use the handbag/ backpacks.
For the international community, today it is not a myth, or something unknown to use the Wayuu backpack. We know that she is adaptable for all ages and for both sexes: Male and female.
In Colombia, it is very common to see men with a Wayuu handbag, such as a briefcase or a backpack on the back. Although most men prefer neutral colors, due to highly artistic designs, young men dare to wear one of these colorful backpacks without fear of being criticized.
