This bag represents the fusion of two cultures: Criolla and Maka. Both share the use of cotton threads and the vertical loom technique.
In the Maka community, cotton threads are woven between two horizontal branches staked into the ground, creating a unique and ancestral fabric. The body of the bag, however, is crafted using the 4-liso foot loom, a complex and increasingly rare technique mastered by only a few artisans in Carapeguá.
The 4-liso loom, featuring a diamond weave, was introduced by German settlers and has since been incorporated into our culture, remaining a valued tradition to this day.

Our Morena Toro clothing, accessories, and leather pieces are crafted with natural fibers and traditional techniques, resulting in beautiful, unique, and artisanal creations.
Due to their handcrafted nature, slight variations in appearance, color, and texture may occur.
Taking care of your Morena Toro products ensures their longevity and reduces environmental impact. With our simple care instructions, your items can last for generations.
For cotton and linen products, hand wash with neutral or coconut soap in cold water. Air dry in the shade. Use distilled water for sprinkling and iron at 200°C. Optionally, you can starch the garment. Avoid washing machines, abrasive soaps, and washing with intense colors.
For leather goods, clean with vinegar or a gentle gel. Nourish with linseed oil for a protective layer, applied with a cloth.
For natural fiber products, such as those made from Karanday palm or other plant materials, gently wipe with a damp cloth to clean. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading and brittleness. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain their natural beauty and strength.
