△ 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.

Ethical Production
Ethical Production
glorka is a handmade ethical production. We work with 3 seamstresses and 2 tailors from New York, Los Angeles and Puerto Rico. We are very proud to work with this small but very passionate for handcrafting team of beautiful beings.
All the pieces that are handcrafted in other countries are a part of our Women Empowerment and Teaching projects around the world.
Most of our creations are either one of the kind or a Limited Edition. We only use same fabric for up to 10-12 pieces and then move on to the next fabric. The only ongoing designs we have are our basics: pants and tops from high-quality cotton in solid white, gray and black colors.
To reduce textile waste we strive to upcycle (use discarded or vintage fabrics that would end up in a landfill otherwise), and eco-friendly natural fabrics and blends. We are trying to use recycled polyester and upcycled fabrics to reduce waste and be more gentle to our Mother Earth.
