Hi! Just wanted to come and show that I did come and try to answer your q! LOL. But yes A Prize Every Time is correct on this one. It is not a mola and it is Hmong. Many people confuse them but the designs of each culture are totally representative.

Keeping that jacket is not being a hoarder - it is beautiful! It would look stunning with plain black under it - a shell and pants or a black dress, perhaps, and a long string of blue and green toned Murano glass beads. That's an investment piece, too, as you bought it in 1981, and it's still as perfect and appropriate today as the day you bought it! We have a large Hmong ...

I bought this jacket back in 1981 and have been saving it forever, but it will never fit and is too pretty (and too bulky) to store, so my question is where do you think it was from? I bought it at a store that sold a mismash of vintage and new items as well as artisan ones. Reversible. Quilted. Reminds me of the layered fabrics like in the Panamanian molas. But it is way ...
