Tumia LAC Panama Hat - Rollable - Natural with Brown Ribbon 59cm

Our genuine Panama hat hand woven and fairly traded in Ecuador. Made from natural "iraca" palm fibre. Panama hats are made and worn all over Latin America, but the traditional Panama hat which has taken its name from the Panama canal, are made in Ecuador. Their flexibility and the fact that you can fold or roll them for traveling, makes them unique.

The sizes are in centimeters and based on the circumference of the head passing across the middle of the forehead. Our smallest is 55cm and the largest 62cm. As all our hats are handmade, the brim size varies slightly but it normally measures between 6 cm and 7.5cm. Please choose your size when placing your order - we will gladly exchange your hat for a different size if it turns out to be the wrong one.
