Working as a Wayuu women
A traditional Wayuu woman will refine her crochet skills as she will continue to practice the art throughout her life. However, it is not something she does full time. She must attend to other duties such as caring for her home and family.
How she sells her Wayuu bags:
This same woman will usually live in the rancheria. In order to sell her bags, she must get them to a larger town or city. Sometimes, a representative of the village will gather all the bags produced by the women from the village and go and sell them in the city. Other times, the woman makes the trip to the city herself and sells them to a provider that will commercialize them and add the strap.
