Karen G.

The straw used by local artisans is obtained from the leaves of Carludovica Palmata, a plant native to Central and South America. The processing from which the renowned Panama is obtained is carried out completely by hand and is an important element of Ecuador's cultural heritage, which in fact became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012.
Our Salento artisans process the semi-finished product from Ecuador with the help of water vapor and heat, making the pull by hand on special wooden forms. Thanks to this processing, the material takes on the desired shape of the crown and brim.
The hat, now formed, is handled especially gently throughout the process so that it retains the traditional and unmistakable elasticity of panama fibers.
The processing of Karen G is highly artisanal: in fact, it is made with the sole aid of water vapor and heat, pulling it by hand on wooden forms. The grosgrain belt represents the final detail of a unique hat.
The threads are initially dyed in two different colors chosen by our style office, in this case the sea, which is a symbol of Salento, and bauxite, which represents our land. They are woven by the skilled hands of artisans creating a two-tone star pattern that makes this hat truly unique.
