The Montecristi Panama hat is crafted from an exceptionally fine material originating from the city of Montecristi, located in the Manabí province of Ecuador. This exquisite, elastic, and lustrous straw is derived from the leaves of the Carludovica Palmata palm. Selecting the finest fibers and hand-weaving a single piece can take several months of meticulous work. This hat is characterized by its classic colonial shape, designed to be rollable, showcasing the intrinsic elasticity of Panama straw. The brim is unstructured, and the design is completed with a 1.5 cm grosgrain ribbon. The hat is accompanied by a matching box and dust bag for storage and protection. Handcrafted with care and passion in Italy.
