About Mola / Acerca de Mola

"Mola represents the beautiful culture that we are maintaining, including the native inheritance of our towns. This has been made possible by the effort, through many generations, of preventing the corruption of our cultures. Through these efforts, techniques and ideas have been shared and merged; colors, materials, forms, and designs are used so that every piece is a unique tribute to our land and our history."

"Mola ha creado ideas que se transforman en objetos que embellecen lo que somos manteniendo así la herencia indígena de nuestros pueblos, conservada gracias al esfuerzo de las generaciones al no permitir la corrupción de nuestras múltiples culturas. De esta manera se mezclan técnicas, colores, materiales, formas y diseños que hacen que cada una de las piezas sea un tributo único a nuestra tierra y con ello a nuestra historia."

What is Mola? / ¿Que es Mola?

Mola is a fabric made from layers of material that are sewn together to create beautiful, colorful designs. It is handmade in Colombia by the natives, called Indigenas Cuna, located mainly in Chocó, a region in Western Colombia on the Pacific Ocean. Julieta Monroy, the creator and designer of this small company, uses this unique material to add bold colors to the shoes she and her team make by hand. Since Mola is made in small, individual pieces, each pair of shoes that includes the fabric is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.
