Panama Straw Hat
By CuyanaThis Ecuadorian icon became known as the “Panama Hat” after President Theodore Roosevelt wore it while visiting the Panama Canal construction back in 1906. Whether for a day at the beach or a stroll in the city, this timeless icon is perfect for almost every occasion.
THE STORY
Cuyana, which means “to love” in Quechua, the traditional language of the Andean tribes, sources its materials in the Peruvian Andes, and works with indigenous craftsman to fuse local inspiration and modern design. The company donates 10 percent of profits to fund clean water projects and keeps prices low by working without middlemen and avoiding unnecessary markups.
