 The Republic of Panama is the southernmost country of Central America, constituting the last part of a natural land bridge (an isthmus) between North and South America. Panama is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south, Costa Rica to the west and Colombia to the east.
Panama is site of the Panama Canal, a man-made link between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that saves about 18,000 miles from a sea voyage from New York to San Francisco.
Panama, unlike her fellow Central America countries, has a climate pattern that avoids hurricanes, and few major earthquakes as its central spine of mountains are not part of the North American and Andes mountain chains.

Mola, in the language of the Native American Kuna tribe of Panama, means "shirt" or "clothing." Mola panels of reverse applique fabric work are used on the front and back of blouses.
Molas seem to have evolved from body painting that was repressed by the Spanish colonizers.

The hats acquired the name Panama hat because they were first sent to the Isthmus of Panama to be shipped on to Europe, Asia, and the rest of the Americas. Because the hats are both light weight and light in color, as well as "breathable", they are associated with summer and tropical fashion.
