Each bag takes up to 90 days to create, preserving centuries-old traditions with sacred designs and vibrant colors.

Each piece is unique, once it’s sold, it’s gone forever. Make it yours
"Knowing that purchasing a bag contributes to empowering indigenous women makes my soul happy..."
"I found Authentic Colombia on accident; and what an awesome accident. I fell in LOVE with all of the gorgeous bags.
I learned about the indigenous women that create the bags, the time and dedication it takes, and how a purchase impacts the community. I was, am, amazed.
I am a firm believer of supporting and empowering women. Knowing that purchasing a bag contributes to their empowerment makes my soul happy.
I am also a fanatic about bags! I love them. I love Authentic Colombia bags so much I have several. I’ve even given them as gifts. They are durable, beautiful, one of a kind, and the color combinations are more amazing in person.
Again, I can’t speak highly enough about the mission, quality, and company. One of the best experiences and personalized care ever"

Jewelry That Connects You to the Earth
Handmade Beaded Jewelry
Handcrafted by the Camëntsá artisans of Colombia’s Putumayo region, these beaded necklaces and earrings are inspired by nature’s patterns and colors, received in sacred ceremonies.
Each piece is infused with deep meaning, honoring Mother Earth and feminine beauty.
These artisans don’t want charity—they share their wisdom and art to create meaningful livelihoods. When you wear this jewelry, you carry a piece of their world and their legacy.
Preserving Traditions
All the indigenous communities that we work with, have been passing their weaving, crocheting and knitting traditions for centuries, generation to generation.
Some of these tribes go back to prior the Spanish arrival in Colombia. That's how ancient their techniques are. A real treasure for humanity.
Part of our mission in Authentic Colombia, with your support, is to help these communities preserve their ancestral traditions and cultural heritage.
