Description

The Bolivian Cholita doll acts as a hand-made mini representation of a Bolivian Indigenous Aymara woman. Made of fabric, they wear traditional clothing: a bowler hat and beautiful shawls paired with bright-colored skirts. The Cholita doll is a symbol of pride of indigenous Bolivian women and a commercial product for the tourist market.
