Yes. All Bomboná bags are made with full-grain natural leather sourced from Nariño, Colombia. This region’s climate and environment produce some of the most exquisite and long-lasting leathers in the country.
Full-grain leather is the highest-quality leather available. It comes from the top layer of the hide and retains all the natural texture and imperfections that make each bag unique. It’s durable, breathable, and ages beautifully, developing a rich patina over time.
Unlike “genuine leather” or synthetic alternatives, full-grain leather:
Lasts for decades with proper care
Softens over time without losing strength
Improves in beauty as it develops character with use
Maintains its structure better than lower-grade leathers
Reflects the authenticity of the hide, making each Bomboná bag one of a kind.
Each Bomboná piece is handcrafted by independent artisans in Colombia, many of whom are women preserving traditional techniques passed down through generations. We collaborate with them ensuring fair compensation and respectful working relationships that help sustain their craft and communities.
To preserve the beauty and durability of your Bomboná bag:
Clean gently with a dry cloth and use leather cleaner occasionally
Store in a cool, dry place inside the included dust bag
Avoid direct sunlight and excessive humidity
Keep the bag upright or flat (never hang it) to preserve its shape
If your bag features hair-on leather, brush gently in the direction of the hair with a soft brush and avoid friction
Avoid placing heavy items on top of the bag
Yes. Sustainability is at the heart of Bomboná. We use locally sourced full-grain leather, produce in small batches to reduce waste, and support ethical labor practices. We believe in creating pieces that last, not fast fashion.
Our designs merge traditional Colombian techniques with modern functionality. Inspired by heritage, nature, and the strength of women, each piece reflects a balance of artistry, practicality, and timeless elegance.
Bomboná carriel bags weigh between 0.7- 0.8 kilos (the mini version 0.6 kilos), so they are a lot lighter that the traditional Colombian carriel bags.
We have purposely adapted the design to be more versatile and have included 3 internal compartments and 2 zippered pockets, reducing weight while retaining practical functionality.
Yes! The standard Bomboná carriel is compact yet spacious. It comfortably fits a folding umbrella along with your everyday essentials like your phone, keys, wallet, and sunglasses—with room to spare.
Please note: This refers to the regular-sized carriel, not the mini version.
All Bomboná bags are thoughtfully packaged in their protective dust bag and our signature gift box, making them perfect for gifting — no extra wrap needed. If you’re purchasing a bag as a gift, you can request a personalized note during checkout, and we’ll include it with care.
We process orders quickly to ensure prompt delivery, which means changes are not always possible. If you made an error, please contact us at support@bombonacolombia.com as soon as possible—we’ll do our best to help.
