Where It All Began
If you’ve ever noticed those vibrant, colorful bags seen around the world — the ones that instantly catch your eye because they feel alive, expressive, and full of character — this is where our story begins.
More than fifteen years ago, the seed for Origin Colombia was planted during a cultural event in Colombia, when we met a Wayuu artisan for the first time. What began as a simple encounter revealed something much deeper. These were not just colorful bags, but pieces created with patience, emotion, and meaning — each one carrying history, effort, and a quiet kind of magic.
That first connection stayed with us for years. The admiration for Wayuu craftsmanship grew into a deep respect for the women behind the work and the cultural heritage they preserve through their art.
Years later, Origin Colombia was officially born — shaped by that early encounter and driven by a clear intention: to work alongside Wayuu women and share their art with the world in a way that honors who they are and how they create.
Not as trends.
Not as mass-produced accessories.
But as meaningful pieces shaped by human feeling and creative freedom.
About Me
Hello, I’m Claudia — proudly Colombian and deeply inspired by the creativity, color, and craftsmanship of Colombian artisans.
Over the years, I’ve felt a strong calling to act as an ambassador for Colombian handmade art, sharing its beauty, originality, and cultural richness with the world. Origin Colombia was created from that intention: to showcase meaningful pieces made by talented artisans across Colombia, starting with the Wayuu community and expanding to other forms of Colombian craftsmanship.
Having lived in different parts of the world, including Asia and now Canada, my journey has always been guided by the same purpose — to help Colombian artisan work reach new audiences while honoring the people, creativity, and stories behind each piece.
Origin Colombia is a space where culture, design, and intention come together — a bridge between artisans and women who value beauty with meaning.
With care and intention,
Claudia
