One Thread Collective is more than a brand—it’s a social movement dedicated to promoting ethical fashion that goes far beyond fair trade. Each product is hand-crocheted by one of 120 Wayuu artisans from 10 remote Indigenous communities in La Guajira, Colombia, carrying generations of tradition, resilience, and artistry in every stitch. These are not just bags—they are stories, woven to last a lifetime.
We are proud to be the most ethical mochila brand in the world. 100% of profits are reinvested into educational programs for Wayuu women, and we provide artisans with interest-free micro loans so they can grow on their own terms. Even more, 10% of every purchase funds a community-led project chosen by the artisan herself—projects that bring food, water, and hope to her family and neighbors.
When you carry a One Thread Collective mochila, you are carrying a piece of culture, a woman’s vision for her future, and a thread of connection that ties us all together.

Jackie from One Thread Collective Santa Barbara, California | Supporting Wayuu women artisans with fair trade income and educational programs.
In 2018–2019, while working with Native communities in La Guajira, Colombia, I saw first-hand the challenges facing Wayuu families: food insecurity, water scarcity, displacement, and extreme poverty. Despite countless aid programs, many families remained trapped in crisis—yet the women’s devotion to creating a better future for their children was undeniable.
These women weren’t seeking charity; they asked for help selling their mochilas internationally. With no smartphones or bank accounts, their only option was local markets where they barely broke even.
Inspired by their artistry and resilience, I co-founded One Thread Collective—a nonprofit brand that empowers Wayuu women to preserve their weaving traditions while supporting their families and improving life in their communities.
What began as a small effort has grown into a movement uplifting more than 120 women weavers and pioneering a model of ethical fashion that goes far beyond fair trade.

Community Builder
At One Thread Collective, we strengthen economic independence, self-determination, and community cohesion in under-resourced Indigenous Wayuu communities. By working directly with women artisans, we invest in the most powerful force for change—because women on average reinvest more than 90% of their income into their families and communities. Every mochila sold helps ensure that Wayuu women can earn a dignified income, preserve their cultural traditions, and lead projects that improve food and water security for their villages. In this way, our work uplifts women as leaders, strengthens families, and builds stronger communities for generations to come.
