Molas, as they are known, are decorative apparel fabrics made by women of the Kuna indigenous communities of Panama and Colombia. They are made by applying cut out layers of fabric on top of each other. The more layers, the finer the Mola. Each fabric is the particular design of the artisan woman who carefully crafts it. The Women use the Molas to decorate their shirts. They place one in front and one in the back, usually matching. They are an art in itself; each Mola is a representation of the Kuna culture, their beliefs and traditions. Some tell a story and depict animals, people or situations, and others are abstract designs.
alto cayman, colombia Our collections are hand-crafted using the finest Molas sewn by a cooperative of 60 women located in the “Alto Cayman� province in the Northern region of Colombia; right on the border with Panama. We treasure their imperfections as they give each bag its exclusive feel and quality. Each bag helps support, preserve and encourage artisanal traditions.
