I only collect the finest authentic vintage molas in perfect condition, I pick them one at a time in the villages, direct from the Cuna Indians in the San Blas islands. I only handpick molas (that have been on blouses) with the most perfect artistic designs and imagination and I remove the molas from the blouses myself afterwards. I select these works of intricate reverse appliqué art according to the most originality & beauty of design and pattern, with the best color combinations, the tightest and most minute even stitching, and perfection, & eveness of lines especially in the case of the detailed geometrical mazes of the traditional molas. Each mola I sell took at least 3 weeks to a month to complete, they all have many layers of colored fabrics sewn with very tiny and close stitches that are practically invisible, the subjects chosen have abondant detail. They are used collector molas but in perfect condition and of the highest quality of workmanship that can be found. WE DO NOT PURCHASE TOURIST MOLAS. The Kuna Indians are the native people who live on small coral islands in the San Blas Archipelago along the Atlantic coast of Panama and Colombia. Molas are collected as folk art and can be viewed at some of the finest museums in the world like the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. Kuna women are known for their colorful customs which consists of a patterned blue cotton wrapped skirt, red and yellow head scarf, arm and leg beads, gold nose rings and earrings ant the intricately sewn mola panel blouse. The mola panels of the blouse are hand-woven in a reverse appliqué technique using several layers of differently colored cotton cloth. The mola may also be decorated with very fine embroidery. Mola is the Kuna Indian word for blouse, but the term mola has come to mean the elaborate minute embroidered panels that make up the front and back of a Kuna woman's blouse.
