With Claudia Akel, choose the tradition and the story that most represents you.
Colombia is a country full of culture, design and art. Handbags, among many other handcrafted accessories, have become a must-have item in your closet.Their designs, colors, mixtures and textures have endured for years through oral and ancestral traditions that reflect the ethnic power of the country and the importance of maintaining Colombian craftsmanship at another level.
The handcrafted handbags, for years have served as inspiration for hundreds of renowned designers who, along with the history and tradition of our indigenous people, have managed to make inroads and maintain in fashion an accessory that looks good with all kinds of designs and for all occasions.
Since this trend of mixing handicrafts with casual and elegant outfits became a habit, the indigenous communities of our country not only gained strength, but also remain in time as a culture full of talent that deserves worldwide recognition.
Here are the reasons why you should wear a Claudia Akel handmade handbag.
1. Completely handmade art
One of the main reasons why handmade handbags never lose their value, is because of the great effort with which the indigenous people have managed to maintain a tradition for centuries in which with the same quality, effort and raw materials, accessories are made and these never go out of fashion.
The fact that each handcrafted design you have in your closet or home has been made by indigenous working hands with a long cultural trajectory, is undoubtedly one of the most important added values of this accessory.
From the body of the handbag, its designs and figures, to the charger and even the pompoms or decorative details of the same, are made entirely by hand, and although it has been tried to industrialize, the art of this type of accessory is that it represents a unique work that will make you feel elegant and fashionable.

2. No two handbags are exactly alike!
After finding a needle in a haystack, the second most difficult thing is to find two handcrafted handbags exactly alike, even if they are made by the same Arhuaco or Wayuu artisan.
Although there are standard patterns that are followed by the indigenous weavers, each one of them imposes a personal stamp on the handbags they make. Although it is an oral tradition transmitted from several generations, nowadays, the mixture of textures, designs and fabrics keeps the accessory modern and, thus, you can wear it in scenarios that years ago would have been unimaginable.
