Elegance Has a Name
Although the world knows it as the “Panama Hat”, its true origin is Ecuadorian. The authentic name is Montecristi Hat, mistakenly labeled due to its export and fame during the construction of the Panama Canal. Today, owning a Grade 20 Montecristi isn’t just purchasing an accessory — it’s acquiring a living piece of art, woven with patience, precision, and passion.
What Makes Grade 20 Unique?
Grade 20 represents exceptional weaving quality: up to 400 cross stitches per square inch. This translates to a fabric that is extremely fine, flexible, and soft to the touch. This level of craftsmanship demands between 3 to 6 weeks of handwork by skilled artisans who interlace natural toquilla straw using time-honored techniques.
