The Playa hat is a campesino style hat handwoven out of the finest toquilla straw. It is made by hand in the coasts of Ecuador using a technique that is part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. It features a flat molded crown, frayed brim and cotton CB monogram twill straps.

Technique

HANDMADE IN ECUADOR
The paja toquilla hat is woven with fibers of a particular palm tree that grows on the Ecuatorian coast. After harvesting the fiber the agricultors bleach it, boiling it first and then drying it with wood coal and sulfur. With this raw material they handcraft each hat using an extra fine weave. This technique results in a hat with a very particular color and weave.
