Tumia - Girl's Genuine Panama Hat with Bow - Children's

Our genuine Panama hats are hand woven by our weavers in Ecuador before being checked and finished by our team in Bristol, England. Each one is skillfully woven by hand from many thin "iraca" palm fibres. Panama hats are traditionally made in Ecuador and worn all over Latin America. This stylish 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. Comfortable sweat wicking inner headband. This model has been specially strengthened for the demands of play and little hands.The sizes are in centimetres and based on the circumference of the head passing across the middle of the forehead. Tumia LAC (formally known as Tumi) was founded in the UK in 1978 promoting fair trade crafts and goods from Latin America. We’ve worked with our hat makers in Ecuador for many years and ensure that we pay fair wages (set by our partners), provide good working conditions and look to provide a sustainable future for our workers.
