Guanábana: Bags that Carry More Than Style
Share
At first glance, a Guanábana bag looks like sunshine you can sling over your shoulder. Vibrant, woven, alive with color and soul. But behind each piece is a rhythm of hands, heritage, and a story worth telling.
Born from Almudena Espinosa’s dream of co-creation, Guanábana isn’t your average accessories label. It’s a Madrid-based brand with Colombian roots running deep, connecting over 2,000 artisans across regions like La Guajira, Antioquia, and Nariño, with a creative lab in Spain turning everyday materials into cultural masterpieces.
Every piece is 100% handmade, and definitely not just marketed as such. It’s crafted with purpose, mastered on ancient looms, and designed to echo the life stories of the artisans who make them. Wayuu women. Coffee harvesters. Iraca weavers. Community isn’t just a word at Guanábana… it’s the business model.
And this isn’t charity wrapped in retail. It’s thoughtful design with real economic impact: fair wages, interest-free micro-loans, and a transparent production system that’s built to uplift. No middlemen. No extractive models. Just long-term trust, innovation, and incredible craftsmanship.
Each season, their team in Madrid works on new collections, mixing traditional techniques with bold shapes and modern palettes.
At TWLV, we’re proud to platform pieces that feel good and do good. Guanábana’s bags don’t just add color or trend to your look, they carry whole histories, stitched with empowerment, dignity, and a sense of place.
Because real style for us? It starts at the source.
