△ A Sustainable and Ethical Choice - Each caftan supports the indigenous Kuna Yala community and honors their rich tradition of hand-making Molas.
We visited Panama and spent some time with the Kuna tribe families, where women have been hand-stitching incredibly intricate Mola embroideries for hundreds of years. This tradition is very old and the process is very slow, and we are just fascinated by this ancient art of mola-making and honored to co-create designs together with Kuna tribe.
We are combining the molas (or in this case "tiras" - long strips of molas) with textured cotton to create unique and culturally rich attire.
With this collection we want to support the local women of Kuna tribe and their art and we hope to create more pieces like this. We brought many molas back home and continue creating more pieces with them on the island of Boricua as a part of our Puerto Rican women empowerment project.
✧ This caftan is more than clothing—it’s a wearable work of art that connects you to cultures and crafts of tribal artisans. Its natural fabric and intricate detailing make it the perfect statement piece.
We hope it will serve you as a beautiful intentional attire for your gatherings, personal practice, ceremony journeys, music, dance or simple comfort of life.
