FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What materials do you use for your hats?
    Our hats are handcrafted from the finest materials. We use genuine Toquilla straw from Ecuador as well as high-quality rabbit and beaver fur for our felt hats. Each material is carefully selected to ensure the highest quality and durability.

  2. What is Toquilla straw, and why is it so special?
    Toquilla straw comes from the Carludovica Palmata plant, native to Ecuador. It is known for its flexibility, lightness, and durability. Hats made from Toquilla straw are handwoven and valued for their exquisite craftsmanship and longevity.

  6. How do I care for my hat properly?
    To extend the life of your hat, we recommend cleaning it regularly and protecting it from direct sunlight and moisture. For straw hats, a soft brush is often sufficient for dusting.
