We are excited to announce we have new dog collars just in time for autumn.  Because each one of our dog collars is handmade and one of a kind, we only make a small batch for each season.  If you are interested please check out our shop!  Each dog collar is crafted by the Wayuu People of Colombia, which is why each design is unique.  The best part is each collar comes with a matching bracelet, so you can look just as good as your best friend!  

Kaaboo Festival...Dark Horse Collaboration

Buena Onda had the great privilege of partnering up with Dark Horse Wine at Kaaboo Festival in Del Mar, California. It was the best way to end a great festival season and to bring awareness to the Wayuu people of Colombia through a partnership with Dark Horse Wine. The hand made bracelets were selling so well, we had to re-stock multiple times. In the last three festivals, the crowed at Kaaboo and their receptiveness toward Buena Onda was the best.

In between one festival and another we stopped in Lincoln, Nebraska.   On the next Buena Onda stopped by the Beer Fest at "The Bay", which includes a skatepark and a clothing store. They also support the non-profit organization "Skate for Change" (SFC), which is dedicated to youth empowerment and helping communities through action.

This Café has a charming atmosphere and probably the best coffee you can find around Lincoln.  Make sure to visit!  We thought it was the perfect setting for our one of a kind Buena Onda Mochilas.

 After finishing up Memphis in May we hit the road to Little Rock Arkansas to work on some new products.  We met up with our good buddies at Country Deep to print new Buena Onda shirts.  Check them out now on our Instagram!  And be sure to look for all our handmade colombian products at all major music festivals this summer.

Let's do something fun here!  Amelia is explaining the significance of this Wayuu Mochila.  Normally, we would translate this for you, but today we want to allow our supporters to translate it.  The best part is:  The first person to share and comment on this video with the complete translation into english will win a Wayuu Mochila!  You must be in the USA to win.

Buena Onda at Bonnaroo

Kevin KennedyComment

Buena Onda had an amazing week at the Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, TN.  With amazing music acts and activities to keep you busy, Bonnaroo offered a good mix of fun.  Buena Onda was able to showcase our Wayuu mochilas, dresses, headbands, bracelets, and our new edition of hammocks and dog collars.  We appreciated everyone stopping by our tent and supporting Buena Onda.  We made some amazing friends and look forward to keeping the Buena Onda moving this summer.
