Currently Coveting // Wayuu Taya Bags

Venezuelan model and actress Patricia Velasquez (aka Gob's girlfriend Marta from Arrested Development!) is the founder of the Wayuu Taya Foundation.  The goal of the foundation is " to help improve the lives of these Latin-American indigenous people (The Wayuu) while maintaining and respecting their traditions, culture and beliefs."  These bags are available for purchase here and each takes 20 eight-hour days to create.  90 percent of the proceeds go back to the Wayuu community... money well spent!  Also, these are just plain rad, right?
