The Story

ZÜR Artbags is a Colombian fashion company specialized in the design and manufacture of modern, sophisticated leather accessories. The brand was established by Catalina Freiye and Juliana Azcárate in 2003. We are inspired by the indigenous cultures of the world and we honor their millenary artisanal traditions, whose vibrant creativity we seek to combine with innovative design and materials of the highest quality.

We focus on the art of detail, and our philosophy is to incorporate contrasting colors, textures and diverse materials into a stylish, feminine product for today’s woman. We search for original styles and distinctive textures that stimulate the senses while making a statement. We share with our customers a passion for form, function and travel. We work with one of a kind fabrics hand-made by the Arhuaco communities in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta in northern Colombia and with the Wayúu tribes that live in the Guajira Peninsula in northern Colombia. The Wayúu and Arhuacos handcraft their fabrics using traditional sewing techniques that have been passed down for centuries. Our artbags are culturally inspired and individually handmade. We work and create employment opportunities for traditional skilled artisans, effectively supporting their craft, while elevating their products to the level of high design for an exclusive, international clientele. With love, Juliana & Catalina
