This vintage mola dates back to the 1950's, identified by its background material.
Hand Stitched by Indigenous Artisans: Each mola is hand-sewn by indigenous Guna artisans from Panama, making every piece unique. These fair-trade textiles support native communities through ethical craftsmanship.
What is a Mola? Molas are traditional handmade textiles originally part of women's clothing from the Guna people of Panama and surrounding regions. They can be used as wall art, pillows, quilting fabric, or decorative accents.
