Genuine Handwoven Panama Hat – Crafted in Ecuador

Step into timeless elegance with our authentic Panama hat — a piece of living history, meticulously handwoven in Ecuador using techniques passed down through generations for over 500 years. Despite the name, the true soul of the Panama hat resides in Ecuador, where artisans weave each piece from the delicate fibers of the Carludovica palmata, known locally as toquilla straw.

This classic design, with its light ivory hue and bold black band, merges heritage and style. Its breathable, lightweight construction makes it your go-to for summer adventures, coastal escapes, or simply adding an air of effortless sophistication to your look. Whether strolling city streets or lounging seaside, this hat keeps you cool and shaded in the most refined way.

From the hands of a master weaver to your wardrobe, each hat can take weeks — even months — to complete. The result? A tightly woven masterpiece so finely crafted that legend says a true superfino can hold water and pass through a wedding ring when rolled.

Made famous by U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt during his 1906 visit to the Panama Canal, and elevated by icons from Atatürk to Hemingway, this is more than an accessory — it’s a symbol of endurance, artistry, and global allure.

Features:

  • Handmade in Ecuador from toquilla straw

  • Lightweight, breathable, and UV-protective

  • Wide-brim for maximum sun coverage

  • Traditional Montecristi weave quality

  • Ideal for travel, rolls easily and springs back to shape

Own a piece of heritage. Wear a legend.

Most Gorgeous & Fabulous Hat Ever

I saw this hat on Instagram and just had to have one. Although picking out just one was challenging, I finally committed to a colorful yellow, blue, and black combo. The hat arrived very quickly, and I was thrilled to be able to wear it before summer's end. It was a bit tight on my head, but I followed the video instructions, and it was super easy to get the perfect fit and shape for my tastes. Everywhere I go, I get compliments, and I have already decided that I am going to order a few more because each hat is unique and more beautiful than the last. RAVE reviews! I'm almost reluctant to tell anyone where I purchased the hat, but I'm spreading the word far and wide because the proceeds benefit the talented weavers and artisans.
