Description
Hand-stitched Panama Mola Fair Trade Latin American Textile Art
Meet Reggie and Ronald, the playful pups riding big R's in this vintage design.
Hand Stitched by Indigenous Artisans: This Mola is carefully hand-sewn by indigenous Guna artisans from Panama. Each piece is unique due to its handcrafted nature and fair-trade origins.
What is a Mola? A Mola is a traditional textile from the Guna people of Panama and surrounding regions. Originally part of women's clothing, Molas can be used as wall art, pillows, bedspreads, place mats, or quilting fabric.
Traditional Construction and Design: Made using a reverse appliqué technique with layered colored cloth, Molas often feature geometric patterns inspired by ancient body paintings and rainforest wildlife.
Empowering Native Artisans: Since 1991, TraderBrock supports Panamanian indigenous communities by reinvesting sales into education, healthcare, tools, and land.
