Our Wayuu empanada clutches are vibrant, one-of-a-kind accessories handwoven by Wayuu women from Riohacha, La Guajira, Colombia. Named for their distinctive half-moon or “empanada” shape, these clutches blend tradition with a modern silhouette, perfect for carrying your essentials in style.
Each piece is carefully crocheted using a 2-thread technique. The curved design is both functional and elegant, fitting comfortably in your hand with a leather wrist strap or under your arm, while the intricate geometric patterns and bold color palettes showcase the artistry used to make them.
Depending on the complexity of the design, creating an empanada clutch can take 4 to 5 days to complete. These clutches are lightweight yet durable, making them perfect for a night out, a special occasion, or simply adding a unique pop of color to your everyday wardrobe.
