How We Developed Our Straw Hat Line
Charlie and I began our hat making venture making Felt (or fur) hats. Branching out into straw hats has been one that we have been most excited to do! We tried many different types of straw; Japanese rice paper, raffia straw, and many other unknown materials. It was our natural connection to South America who lead us to the Panama Straw, hand-woven with Toquilla Palm in Ecuador! This is the lightest weight, but most durable straw hat we have found! Even after all of our test shaping, natural dyeing and handling, these hats have withstood some serious experimenting! They are the best shade and most stylish hat! In October of 2020, we were finally able to go to Ecuador and visit with the weavers directly. We spent three months working hand in hand with the weavers and designed, talked, and learned so much! We are now more committed than ever to bring this tradition to more people, giving these amazing artists a voice and support!
