Honoring Heritage. Handcrafted to Inspire.
Welcome to Paja Toquilla Hats, where timeless tradition meets modern style. We are passionate about sharing the beauty, craftsmanship, and cultural significance of the authentic Paja Toquilla hat — also known worldwide as the “Panama hat”, but proudly handwoven in Ecuador.
Every hat we offer is a celebration of Ecuadorian artistry. Sourced directly from skilled artisans in the Andean and coastal regions of Ecuador, our hats are made from 100% natural toquilla straw — sustainably harvested and carefully woven by hand, using techniques passed down through generations.
At pajatoquillahats.com, our mission is simple:
To connect the world with genuine, high-quality toquilla straw hats, while supporting the communities that keep this beautiful tradition alive.
