THE ORIGIN OF PANAMA HATS DATES BACK TO PRE-COLUMBIAN TIMES IN THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH AMERICA, WHEN THEY WERE AN ESSENTIAL GARMENT. THEIR IMPORTANCE IN EVERYDAY LIFE RESULTED IN INTRICATE WEAVING TECHNIQUES AND DIVERSE STYLES, ALL OF WHICH HAVE BECOME ENDANGERED WITH MODERN-DAY MASS PRODUCTION.

OUR COLLECTION IS INSPIRED BY THIS RICH HISTORY AND AIMS TO REVIVE THE TECHNIQUES THAT ONLY FEW WEAVERS STILL KNOW HOW TO DO, AND THAT NOT MANY KNOW ABOUT.
