Shoes from the Kuna women of Colombia.



These bright shoes are made by the indigenous women of the Kuna people. They live on the border of Colombia and Panama. The women make up their own design and then the fabric is taken and made into crafts, purses, pillows, etc. All the different colors are different pieces of fabric and are sewed on by hand. Some of these shoes have leather straps, but not usually.
