Ok, today IS what a lot of folks call “Caturday" but we never need a certain day or an excuse to rave about our Fabulous Felines! 

We celebrate them 24-7 / 365 at Molamama but here’s why we’re so excited on this particular afternoon about this particular cat —  It’s one of our most popular, original cross-cultural mola designs and NOW available in a PRINTED pillow! 

Our new mola-inspired cats are professionally printed by Society 6. They do a great job over there with the prints on a very durable indoor/outdoor fabric... then, these Fab Felines are backed with a very substantial 7 oz black cotton canvas-type fabric and stuffed with hypoallergenic fibrefil.

Voilà! This spotted jaguar is poised and ready to find a comfy spot in your casa. Don’t worry..  when this black cat crosses your path or that of a friend, it is a guaranteed sign of good luck during the month of October and beyond!

March in the San Blas Territory, aka Guna Yala, Panama, is always a nice thought on a wintry day here in the states!

Kuna/Guna artisans live in simple huts, on their beautiful, remote Caribbean ‘tupus’ (islands) as you can see in these photos that I took on the island of Aritupu. 

The sun is strong, temps are warm and island life is busy. And still, our artisan friends find time to create amazing, hand stitched mola art!

Our original design, hand stitched Herbal Kuna Mola Cat "Dream Spirit" is a fun one. Call it it old-school mola making at its most charming and with no shortage of whimsy, all of which Kuna artisans are so famous for.

Colors are rich and vibrant.. the hand stitched mola applique truly is awesome!

Jet black with a burst of brilliant colors. So nicely done, using time honored mola-making techniques handed down from Kuna mother to daughter for generations.

The hand stitched embroidery is excellent, too.. in many different colors and stitches.. adding even more color and texture.
