Libelula Fair at La Vecindad

Posted in Casco Viejo, Featured on January 21, 2015 Tagged , , | Leave a comment

Panama, Casco Viejo, Casco Antiguo Last weekend La Vecindad was turned into a small fair by La Libélula (the Firefly), a small group of young female designers who decided to join hands and start moving their product in a mobile format. This was their first fair, second one will be in March. I was glad to see one of the designers that sell pieces at Mamitas (and from whom I bought before).  I`m glad to see more entrepreneurship happening little by little. Thanks to La Libelula for choosing Casco and to La Vecindad for offering space!
