"Panama" Hats

We were mis-named
by our Panama canal engineers
Westerners who
thought we should be
Panamanian.

We are made from 

a special coastal reed
beaten and braided
wrapped with a colorful band
around the center.

2 weeks
to 6 months
it takes
to make us
expensive ones
costing up
to $1500.

Wear us.
Love us.
Let us protect you
calling us
Cuenca hats,
por favor.
