Each stylish hat is carefully woven by hand from many thin “iraca” palm fibres resulting in a brilliantly light and breathable hat.

It’s a common misconception that Panama hats are made in Panama. Actually, Panama hats have always been made in Ecuador. This sophisticated hat has become known as a “Panama” due to Panama being the main trading hub of 19th century Latin America and their popularity amongst the foreign workers who built the Panama canal.
Tumia LAC (formally known as Tumi) was founded in the UK in 1978 promoting fair trade crafts from Latin America. We specialize in Panamas and have worked with our hat makers in Ecuador for many years. We seek to ensure that we pay fair wages, provide good working conditions and a sustainable future for our workers.
