This intricately woven straw hat was made in Ecuador and is new old stock. Purchased by a woman who loved to travel South America and collected finely made straw hats. Nice and light weight, floppy, with a curved up brim and bucket style crown with no hat band. I usually wear a 22" hat band and this fit me great. Super soft and supple straw. Very high quality piece.

This item was originally owned by Andrea W. of Greenfield NH, who once said that "Denim was the worst thing that ever happened to fashion." She collected a stunning collection of designer pieces through her life, filling up armories and closets with her excellent taste through the years. Andrea loved travel, collected straw hats, and knew a good fabric when she saw one. I will be adding more of her wonderful pieces to my shop throughout the year.
