Why is it called a Panama hat?
The name "Panama hat" was born from a historical mix-up. While these hats were traditionally woven in Ecuador, they gained popularity during the construction of the Panama Canal in the early 20th century. Workers wore them to protect themselves from the scorching sun. When US President Theodore Roosevelt came to visit the construction site in 1906, he was photographed wearing a Panama hat, which contributed to their worldwide fame.

When and how to wear a Panama hat?
The Panama hat is a versatile accessory that can be worn in a variety of situations. It is ideal for sun protection during your summer getaways, whether at the beach, in the city, or at outdoor festivals. It adds a touch of relaxed elegance to any outfit, whether formal or casual. Wear it with a light shirt and linen trousers for a chic summer look, or pair it with a light suit for a sophisticated appearance at outdoor events.
Paja toquilla fiber
Paja toquilla fiber, also known as the jipijapa palm, is the material traditionally used to make Panama hats. This fiber is extracted from the leaves of a palm tree native to Ecuador. The harvesting, processing, and weaving of paja toquilla are artisanal processes that require great skill and in-depth knowledge. The result is a lightweight, supple, and durable hat that provides effective protection against the sun while remaining comfortable to wear for long periods.
