OGUALE CLUTCH
IN THIS BEAUTIFUL ALL ABSTRACT COLLECTION WE WANTED TO PLAY WITH PATTERN AND COLOR. WHILE THE DESIGNS ARE IMAGINATIVE, THEY STAY WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF TRADITIONAL ABSTRACT GUNA DULE TEXTILES. WE DREW INSPIRATION FROM OUR COLLECTION OF VINTAGE TEXTILES AS WELL AS WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE ARTISANS TO REFRESH SOME OF THEIR RECURRING MOTIFS.
ABSTRACT PATTERNS ARE OFTEN SEEN IN GUNA DULE TEXTILES AND WERE THE ONLY MOTIFS IN EARLY ON TEXTILES. LATER FIGURATIVE MOTIFS WERE INCORPORATED INTO THE LANGUAGE BUT THESE CAME ONLY IN MODERN TIMES.
THESE ARE TRULY UNIQUE PIECES THAT CAN’T BE FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE. ALL COLOR AND PATTERN COMBINATIONS WERE CAREFULLY CURATED TO CREATE ORIGINAL PIECES IN UNEXPECTED COLOR ARRANGEMENTS. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TEXTILES ARE PAIRED SO THE BOTTOM ONE HIGHLIGHTS THE INTRICACIES OF THE TOP ONE.
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL DESIGN WHERE THE TOP AND BOTTOM TEXTILES ARE THE SAME BUT IN INVERTED COLORS. THE DESIGN DEPICTS ARROWS OR OARS THAT LIKELY TELL THE STORY OF A PEOPLE THAT USED THESE FOR THEIR LIVELYHOOD IN THE PAST. FOR FISHING, TRANSPORT, HUNTING AND PROTECTION. THE TOP COMES IN IVORY, FIRE RED AND PURPLE WHILE THE BOTTOM LAYERS ARE FIRE RED, PURPLE AND BEIGE. . THE SIDES OF THE BAG ARE IN A PURPLE COTTON TWILL THAT BLENDS IN WITH THE COLORFUL TEXTILES.
ALL OF OUR TEXTILES ARE DELICATELY HAND-SEWN BY A WOMEN ARTISAN FROM THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY OF THE GUNA DULE OF COLOMBIA. THEY ARE A TRUE HAND MADE LUXURY AND UNIQUE PIECES THAT CAN ONLY BE FOUND AT MOLA SASA.
COMES WITH A BLACK LEATHER STRAP OR WEAR AS A CLUTCH
