Polleras for Sale

Polleras, brightly colored and often sequined or embroidered, are skirts worn by Cholas, women of mixed European and indigenous heritage. From both urban and rural areas of Ecaudor, many Cholas are fruit and vegetable sellers in Cuenca’s markets. Despite their mestizo roots, Cholas are often seen as symbols of indigenous life.
