SUMMER BAGS LIKE NO OTHER
July 02, 2017
We LOVE a good summer bag, and by the response of our last bag post, you do too!
There's no right or wrong size, shape or colour for the perfect summer bag, and that's one of the things we love about them.
It's also the reason we absolutely adore these Mochila bags from Teyunalinks.
These bags are all completely unique with their own beautiful combination of colours and patterns, and come in a variety of sizes. Each bag is 100% hand-woven, taking about 20 days to be made by one woman ~ a Wayuu artisan, with each woman having their own signature style making your bag completely one-of-a-kind AND providing these women with employment and income generating opportunities in their region. Teyunalinks is based in North Wales, and brings these incredible, luxurious bags from the Wayuu indigenous communities in South America straight to you! Their aim is to bring together these distinct indigenous tribes and unite them with their common heritage.
You can find Teyunalinks on Facebook, or head over to their beautiful Instagram page, to see more of these amazing Mochilas, and bag one for yourself! (Yes, pun intended!)
The beauty of these bags is that they can be used on soooo many different occasions. We've used ours from a shopping trip in the city, to a countryside walk to a day at the beach. They are PERFECT.
I wore my little baby Mochila bag with this denim dress from River Island (the dress isn't online anymore but I have definitely seen them still around in-store.) I love how it adds a bright, summery pop of colour to my outfit. It brightens up anyones day just by looking at this bag! The colour combination, and chevron patterns on this bag are just gorgeous.

As we said above, we love the different sizes of these bags, and the size of this bag is just perfect. You can fit so much in this bag, making it perfect for taking anywhere whether that's the beach or even on holiday. It's amazing how much you can fit into one bag! And with the lovely thick strap, they are super comfortable to wear, as well as looking amazing!
Sometimes you just have to wear a plain white tee and jeans. It's such a comfortable combination and you know it's going to look good! This bag adds such a perfect splash of colour to a pretty neutral outfit, add some fun earrings and a bright lipstick and you're good to go! The t-shirt and jeans are both from M&S and I added the embroidered patches myself from etsy.
Thank you so much for reading this post! Please let us know what you think of these bags, we would love to know as we just cannot get enough of them!
