Hat Band - Leather

Crafted by artisan families in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador, woven hats are a true testament to ancestral skill and cultural heritage. Woven from Paja Toquilla straw using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, each piece is handmade in the towns of Sígsig, Chordeleg, or Montecristi — the latter known for producing the world’s finest weaves.

With an elegant silhouette and breathable structure, this hat offers both beauty and utility. It can take weeks or even months for a single weaver to complete, depending on the complexity of the weave. By wearing it, you honor a living tradition and help sustain the communities that bring it to life.
