Our hats are fine and unique, handmade by rural communities of artisans and weavers. Their techniques are environmentally friendly and offer trend-setting designs suitable for the most demanding tastes. By purchasing our toquilla straw hats, you are contributing to the social development of weavers communities, the survival of these cultural traditions and supporting the “Manos unidas para cambiar al mundo” Project of the Kiddy House Foundation. When the hat is not being used , it should be placed on a flat surface on its brim never on his crown. You should never take the hat crown to maintain its shape , to put your hat always use the brim instead of the crown. The Panama hat should not curl, because their strands may break or weaken, the quality of a Panama hat is not measured by whether you can bend it or not, this is a myth that must be corrected. The hat should be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth, do not use detergents or other cleaning products, in most situations water should remove stains, if needed use soft neutral soap. Once the hat is cleaned let it dry, sitting on a flat surface under the sun.
