White ethnic poncho handmade from a 100% cotton gauze and a 100% cotton threaded embroidery handwoven by the indigenous women of Kuna Yala, Panama.
Handcrafted with love. Smudged with Palo Santo 🪶
We are hand-making a few pieces now, it’s a pre-order only at the moment. Ready to ship in 7 days after placing the pre-order.
This is a special piece to us. It is a part of the collection "Kuna" - a collection of ponchos, robes and dresses we hand-stitched together with the tribal women from Kuna Yala in a limited edition.
We only created a few pieces, and all of them are one of the kind.
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.
With this collection we want to support the local women and their art and we hope to create more pieces like this.
This is one of 3 pieces with this embroidery that are being made. It is one size fits all. Sides are open - so you can wear it as a long elegant poncho or a ritual robe.
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.
Material: 100% cotton combined with 100% cotton hand-stitched mola embroideries.
Size: One size
Overall Length: 46 in.

Care:
Hand-wash with cold water/ separately or dry clean ONLY please. We want these garments to last long and bring you joy in years to come. First 2-3 washes the dye might run and color the water, so please wash separately, at least first few times.

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.
You can always inquire about each of the fabrics we use for our designs here.
