Timeless, effortless and always chic, the Panama hat has become the choice accessory of globetrotting jet-setters around the world.
A sophisticated Panama hat is a practical shortcut to glamourous holiday style, and with its classic design it is perfect for beach days and city trips alike.
The epitome of elegant sophistication, the stunning Superfine Preset Panama hat from Christys’ London makes for a serious style statement.
Adding to its intrinsic durability and beauty, the hand-made Panama hat has superfine-grade quality and distinguished flair. The iconic brimmed straw hats are created from fine strips of toquilla straw, harvested from the palm-like trees that grow along the Ecuadorian coast. The Grade 8 Brisa weave gives it a superlative quality and feel.
UNESCO has recognised the Ecuadorian art of weaving a genuine Panama hat as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, a term used to define practices, traditions, knowledge and skills that communities pass down from generation to generation as part of their cultural heritage.
An exquisite creation, this Panama hat is expertly hand-woven in Ecuador before being blocked, bound and trimmed in Christys’ Oxfordshire factory, using techniques and processes that have been perfected over its 245-year history.
Black band, cream binding and crest tab finish the smart, monochrome style. Stylish, lightweight and comfortable, it is soft, cool and breathable, yet structured enough to hold an elegant shape.
