Hand-woven Heritage

Panama Hat from The Panador Hat Company in the Fedora Style

Panador hats are hand-woven in Cuenca, Ecuador, a romantic colonial city criss-crossed by rivers and surrounded by hazy mountains. Cuencan craftspeople preserve the Panama hat tradition by passing down the art of weaving from one generation to the next. Authentic Panamas are hand-woven of toquilla straw fibers one by one, each hat an individual masterpiece.

Cuenca has a rich cultural heritage not limited to its fine Panama hats. However, it is not a wealthy part of the country. That’s why we are committed to fostering economic development in this region. Every hat we sell helps preserve a tradition of Cuencan craftsmanship.
