BONCHEY is an independent accessories brand founded by designer Wara Juana Gutierrez Mamani, with roots in La Paz, Bolivia, and established in Amsterdam. Inspired by the iconic bags carried by the indigenous Cholitas of Bolivia, BONCHEY creates high-quality, ethically produced versions of these bags as fashionable accessories for the global market. The name BONCHEY [Bon-tchi] is a playful fusion of Bolivia and the donkey, symbolizing the strength and charm of both the animal and the bags themselves.
