A Must-Visit in Bangkok's Thonglor Area! Maline Handmade Wayuu Bag Shopping Guide

One of the great joys of living in Bangkok’s Ekkamai area is being able to walk to the lively Thonglor! The alleys here hide countless treasure shops, where coffee shops and handicraft stores blend to create a unique artistic atmosphere. Among them, Maline Handmade Shop in Thonglor has become a must-visit spot for travelers, famous for its vibrant and colorful Wayuu bags.

Wayuu bags originate from Colombian handmade weaving craftsmanship, known for their saturated bright colors and geometric patterns. Each bag is a unique masterpiece crafted by artisans. Stepping into Maline, you’ll be dazzled by the variety of patterns, from small coin purses to practical tote bags, available in all sizes. Many jokingly say, “There are only zero or countless Wayuu bags,” as once you get one, it’s hard to resist collecting more!

After careful selection, I finally took home a floral pattern bag, featuring exquisite weaving combined with contrasting colors, practical yet full of exotic charm. A special reminder for visitors: the shop only accepts cash payments, so it’s recommended to prepare Thai baht in advance to avoid missing out on your favorite items.
