Handmade Made Toquilla Hats imported from Ecuador 🇪🇨 coming soon 🥰Despite being universally known as Panama hats, toquilla hats were invented and are entirely hand-woven in Ecuador. Crafted from the flexible and durable fibers of the Carludovica palmata (toquilla palm), the highly breathable craft is so historically significant🤩. The Trade Route: During the 1800s and the 1850s gold rush, goods, travelers, and hats were shipped from Ecuador to the Isthmus of Panama before making their way to Asia, Europe, and North America. Because the hats were sold, distributed, and popularized in Panama, the international market began calling them “Panama hats”. www.Brooklyn-Boutique.com
