Frenchie Patch Bag | Latin American Fusion | Nido Shop

The Frenchie model from Nido is a one-of-a-kind creation that seamlessly transitions from a backpack for your Latin American adventures to an eye-catching accessory for city life. Its unique design has made it the favorite gift for travelers to Panama to bring back home.

This remarkable bag is a masterpiece of cultural artistry, blending bold black-and-white stripes with three distinct Indigenous elements: Kuna molas, Ngäbe Buglé pintas, and Shipibo patches. Handcrafted by Cooperativa El Nido, it features Kuna molas—meticulously hand-stitched designs that represent cosmology and offer spiritual protection. Ngäbe Buglé pintas, inspired by the mountains and healing plants of Panama, showcase natural beauty and heritage, while Shipibo patches from the Amazon bring intricate geometric designs reflecting spiritual visions and plant medicine.

Every detail in this bag tells a story, making it more than just an accessory—it’s a celebration of culture, craftsmanship, and collaboration with Indigenous artisans. With no two pieces alike, the Frenchie model is as unique as the journey it’s meant to accompany.
