Every colorful corner of The Lonely Flip Flop tells a story through hand crafted pieces. Molas are a traditional Panamanian (wearable) art form made by using two to seven layers of different-colored cloth. They are sewn together and the design is then formed by cutting away parts of each layer. The edges of the layers are then turned under and sewn down and the stitches are nearly invisible as the artist will match the thread to the color of the fabric. This mola is a beautiful representation of fine technique and a piece steeped in culture--add it to your art collection today! We are open weekdays 11:30-4:30 on the Bluff Beach road.
