'Omara', the bag line from Cali, Colombia that empowers indigenous women. Lina Muñetón's dream, with the women of the Pacific, is today an enterprise that crosses borders.

In the middle of the Guangüí jungle, in the Colombian Pacific, about 12 hours traveling by boat from Buenaventura, among the songs of migratory birds and winds that make the trees dance, a community of indigenous women uses their hands to weave dreams and give shape to their deepest feelings.

It was Lina Muñetón from Cali who found them and, after sharing her experiences in the thick jungle, decided to pay tribute to their resilience and their struggles, giving them a voice through Omara Ancestral, a woven bag enterprise that is already conquering international stages.
