Welcome to my Site!
Bienvenidos! Nuedi!
During the difficult times in 2020 art bring us hope.
Now more than ever before the Guna Artists need your help during Covid-19 because the economy is not the best in Panama, the country was lock down several times for a few months and many of them had to close their shops in the city and move back to the Islands, because sells were down. Many of them don't have access to the internet, and what is more important right now through the pandemic is to give the women work to do. When you are buying a mola you are helping them. Panama continue to strugle with the Covid-19.
I hope you are filled with passion for the love of Mola Art. The perfect gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthday, Graduation, Wedding, Christmas Gift, Vacation, Cruises, Special Event, Group Party, molas for a quilting project, art lessons, teaching how to make molas, to add to your private collection, or if you have visited Panama recently and couldn't find what you were looking for, here is your opportunity to buy. We have a beautiful selection of mola awaiting for a new home. Here is how it works, when I sell the molas, then I will save the money and buy more molas later, because buying from the Gunas is the only way that I can help them.
If you need a quilt, pillows, placemats, wall hangings, aprons just let me know and We will be happy to work on them for you.

Some customers are asking me if the molas are completely handmade by the Gunas, and yes they are, they are authentic, very fine stitching that you might need a magnifiying glass to look at them, no sewing machine use on any of these molas, the molas are handmade in Panama not in the USA. If you go to the page "how molas are made", you will see a picture of the back of the mola and how each piece is neatly finished in the back.
