Welcome to ILYR

Discover authentic Wayuu mochilas, handwoven in La Guajira, Colombia,

Story of ILYR


At Ilyr, every piece has a story. A story of where it came from, who made it, and the culture it represents. We bring together unique pieces from small designers around the world, each created with soul, story, and intention.
Our journey begins with Colombian Wayuu bags, handwoven pieces that embody culture, color, and craftsmanship.


The Wayuu
A Culture Woven in Threads

Among the sands of La Guajira, the Wayuu people preserve one of Colombia’s oldest crafts.
From mother to daughter, the art of creating mochilas is passed down as a sacred tradition, where each pattern and color carries meaning –  stories of dreams, nature, and daily life.


Amazing quality

Love this bag so much. The colors are even better in person and really give sunset vibes. You can tell it’s beautifully handmade and the quality is amazing. I also love that the patterns have meaning and that it was made in Riohacha by a Wayuu artisan — it makes it feel really special. Would definitely recommend!
