The pollera is a traditional skirt and ensemble with origins in Panama, Bolivia, and Peru, each region developing its own distinctive styles and cultural significance over time.
The Panamanian pollera has evolved into the national folk costume, crafted by specialized artisans with elaborate embroidery and lacework. Panamanian polleras are handmade, vary by region and occasion, and can be highly expensive. They reflect a mix of Indigenous, European, and Afro-Antillean influences and identities, and can be worn by everyone.
