Brando
$390.00
Our take on the classic frayed summer hat, the Brando is rooted in the most mindful fabrics and techniques. We start with a variegated Toquilla straw that’s sustainably harvested before it’s hand-woven and gently frayed by our skilled artisans. A gambler crown keeps the style refined, while the grosgrain ribbon serves as the finishing touch.

NINAKURU Panama hats are meticulously hand-woven in the Andean highlands of Ecuador by a women’s fair trade cooperative, ensuring weavers receive dignified wages, health benefits, and educational assistance for their children.
Each hat takes approximately 5-7 days to weave and are then shipped to our workshop in Ojai, California where we adorn each hat with its finishing touches.
Genuine Panama hats are never cut or sewn by machine, which is why you may encounter slight imperfections in brim shape. We consider these imperfections stamps of authenticity.
