What is History and Craft of Panama Hats about?

The Panama hat, traditionally made in Ecuador from toquilla straw, gained international popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly linked to its export through Panama. Manuel Alfaro established a business in Montecristi in 1835, capitalizing on the demand from miners during the Gold Rush, which led to the hat being misattributed to Panama. The craftsmanship involves intricate weaving techniques and has become a symbol of Ecuadorian culture and heritage.
