Laura Chica (CHILA BAGS owner / Creative Director)
Born in Colombia in 1989.
From an early age, he was fascinated by the colorful colors and culture rooted in Colombia, and after graduating from university in the United Kingdom, he studied design at Espacio Buenos Aires, a fashion school in Argentina.
Her passion for fashion eventually led her to turn to traditional knitted bags made by the indigenous people of her native Colombia. He visited the Wayuu people living on the peninsula in northern Colombia many times, took the time to negotiate directly with the makers, and established CHILA BAGS in 2103.
The many original designs are CHILA BAGS originals that infuse Laura's young sensibilities with the traditional techniques of the Wayuu people. Currently, CHILA BAGS is used mainly by power bloggers from all over the world.

Commitment to the product
Who are supporting us?
Originally from Colombia, Laura came across colorful and delicately woven bags during her travels on the Guajira Peninsula in northern Colombia, and launched CHILA BAGS in 2013 with the desire to spread her wonderful heritage and skills to the world.
There is also the current situation where the Wayuu people are contracted to make bags for a small wage, and the bags sold by middlemen are on the world market, and as a result, the lives of the Wayuu people are suffering.
At the launch of "CHILA BAGS", in order to practice fair trade that trades with producers on fair terms, we started direct negotiations with the Wayu people without going through any middlemen. As a result of persistent communication with ethnic groups, we have now signed exclusive contracts with more than 200 creators.
In addition to the payment of fair wages, CHILA BAGS actively supports the livelihoods of the ethnic groups with which it contracts, such as lectures on household management so that ethnic members can lead sustainable and stable lives, and in-kind provision of food.
Most of the elegant and pop designs, which are the biggest attraction of CHILA BAG, are Laura originals by the owner himself.
It is a special bag that is made with love and time through many discussions with Wayuu women.
The young passion of the owner and the traditional skills of the Wayuu people have come together to deliver bags around the world that bring smiles to both the maker and the buyer through "CHILA BAGS".
