Leather and chaguar bracelet handmade by Wichí women. Wichí women have been weaving chaguar fibers for generations. The Chaguar plant grows in the wild, and women manually spin, dye and weave the fibers, learning different stitching techniques and designs from their ancestors. Each piece is unique and special.
