Inspiration: Corn / Maíz in Spanish / Maiki in Wayuunaiki)
Cultural Significance: Corn is a foundational food in Wayuu culture. Sown with the rains from October to December, Maiki becomes “chicha” (a corn porridge) that nourishes families and plays a central role in community rituals, especially the chichamaya dance that marks a girl’s passage into womanhood.
Designer: Yaniris Epieyu, master weaver and mother of four from Anerrutumana, a Wayuu community in La Guajira, Colombia.
About the Collection: The Maiki Mochila is one of 12 original designs that were created during a Product Innovation & Cultural Design course at our Yala’yalaa School for Women’s Empowerment and exhibited at the Regenerative Runway in December 2025.
Every mochila in the Original Designers Collection was thoughtfully developed to tell a story about Wayuu culture and life in the “ranchería“ in La Guajira, Colombia.
