About PANAMA) καπέλα
PANAMA hats are made from palm tree leaves called PAJA TOQUILLA PALM. The raw material is produced in ECUADOR (ECUADOR) and the knitting of the hat in the primary stage is done by native craftsmen, our final product is decorated (shape, decoration) in Spain. All PANAMA hats have a seal of authenticity inside that is made in Ecuador.
PANAMA History)
There are two true versions of the ‘PANAMA’ hat name. In the middle of 19th αιώνα τα καπέλα πουλήθηκαν σε χρυσωρύχους που ταξίδευαν μέσω του Παναμά στην Καλιφόρνια κατά τη διάρκεια της ιστορικής Gold Rush της Καλιφόρνιας ενώ παράλληλα εκείνη την περίοδο και οι ίδιοι κατασκευαστές καπέλων του Ισημερινού μετανάστευσαν στον Παναμά, όπου κατάφεραν να επιτύχουν πολύ μεγαλύτερους όγκους συναλλαγών. Οι ταξιδιώτες έλεγαν στους ανθρώπους που θαύμαζαν τα καπέλα τους ότι τα αγόρασαν στον Παναμά. Έτσι, τα καπέλα έγιναν γρήγορα γνωστά ως «καπέλα του Παναμά». Επίσης η ονομασία ‘PANAMA’ ενισχύθηκε περαιτέρω από το ταξίδι του Προέδρου Theodore Roosevelt για την επίβλεψη της κατασκευής του καναλιού του Παναμά το 1906.
