Material

All of our straw hats are carefully handwoven by artisans in Ecuador. The Weave of this hat was declared by UNESCO Heritage of Humanity in 2012 in recognition of this ancient art. The hats are made from the strong, long leaves of the toquilla plant to weave a lightweight fabric that is flexible and durable. In the lunar cycle, the straw cut is more flexible for weaving. The green stem opens and the youngest leaves are meticulously selected, cut lengthwise and folded. The narrower the threads, the finer the hat. It is left to dry under the warm equatorial sun and results in “toquilla straw.” The weavers take the dry threads and knot by knot create figures and textures. This hat is special and unique - it carries the story of a culture, the effort and passion of the artisan who created it, and the promise of a company committed to bringing each customer a beautiful product created in a completely natural, socially sustainable and environmentally committed process.

Size & Fit

Not sure what size to order? Measuring is easy and can be done with a soft measuring tape or a piece of string. Wrap the string around your head where a hat would normally hit (about an inch above the eyebrows). Mark with your finger where the end meets the string and use a ruler or tape measure to measure the total length. Small/Medium 55-57cm Large 57-59 cm **Every hat has a built-in size adjuster so we suggest sizing up and use the velcro size adjuster to achieve the perfect fit.

Care Guide

To maintain your hat in optimal condition, it is advisable to store it away from direct sunlight. If your hat becomes soiled, gently clean it with a microfiber cloth, brushing in the direction of the weave. In the event that your hat gets wet, lay it flat to dry.
