Are you still looking for the perfect Panama hat with guaranteed authenticity? Then you've come to the right place. We sell genuine, handcrafted Panama hats from Ecuador at a fair price.
The Panama straw hat has a simple design. It is made from the fine, so-called "toquilla straw" of the Carludovicianus (Carludovicianus apalmata) plant.
The Panama hat has a cooling effect and is made of a breathable material, which is why it should be a constant companion for the summer.
For men, the brim of straw hats is usually somewhat smaller than for women, as women in particular prefer a nice, large Panama hat for the summer. With the widest possible brim, it replaces a parasol and sunglasses and is a real eye-catcher. Another special feature is that the straw hat can be customized with various ribbons to match your current outfit. When you think of Panama straw hats, you usually think of the exotic Panama straw hat.
But the straw industry also flourished in the Freiamt region of Aargau in Germany in the 19th century, which is why the straw hat enjoyed great popularity there as well. Since then, both men and women can be seen wearing Panama hats on the streets.
We trade in Fairtrade products. The production of our hats in Ecuador is regularly monitored, ensuring that the straw hats are produced under optimal conditions.
A portion of the profits from Montechristi hats goes directly to the manufacturers in Ecuador, supporting workers there. If you plan to continue carrying your hat on long journeys, consider a foldable Panama hat.

Andean Art is a small family business from Ecuador. Under this name, we have been offering a variety of handmade products of the highest quality worldwide since 1998.
Arte Andino maintains very close business relationships with the hat weavers in Ecuador, allowing it to pay fair prices, completely independent of world market prices. This largely secures the livelihoods of these families and improves their quality of life.
“ Arte Andino ” consists of a multidisciplinary team of Ecuadorians and Germans who are committed to promoting and marketing handmade products in different regions of Ecuador, with a sense of social responsibility.
Mission and Vision: “Fair Trade”
Our mission is to offer products from hat weavers and hat artisans in Ecuador directly and without intermediaries.
Our company has existed since 1998. In addition to selling our products, we are committed to social causes, which is why a portion of the profit from the sale of a Montecristi hat is sent directly to the hat manufacturer in Ecuador.
The price of our products is justified by the fact that we attach great importance to the high quality of our Panama hats and we want to ensure that hat weavers abroad receive the best possible payment.
We visit the hat weavers on-site as often as possible to ensure that quality and working conditions are maintained. A Panama hat requires approximately four to five skilled workers to complete before being shipped to Germany, making it very costly.
Once it arrives in Germany, the finished Panama hat can be provided with individual hatbands as desired.
