Things to know about our Panama Hats Every Panama is hand-woven in Ecuador by skilled local artisans and hand-painted in South Africa by Victoria Verbaan. They are 100% toquilla straw, classic style with a black band. Each hand-painted hat is unique and one-of-a-kind. There is also the option to commission a painting on your hat as well as purchase it perfectly plain. Each hat has the VV initial embroidered on the top of the hat and the 'Victoria Verbaan and the smoking daxi' label sewn onto the inside band. As we only sell GENUINE Ecuadorian Panama hats, our Panamas will carry a mark inside the hat, which will have been placed on the straw hat body while still in Ecuador. This will be in the form of a small brown feint stamp, and should not be confused with a dirt mark. Each genuine Panama hat is handwoven from Paja Toquilla, a natural straw. It is the weave which allows it to be easily packed for travelling - the finer the weave, the more supple and flexible the hat.Contrary to myth, however, not all Panama hat shapes are suitable for rolling! We don't recommend rolling your hat especially if it has been hand-painted. *Lead-time for painted or commissioned hats is 2-3 weeks.
