Create your own custom straw hat in this immersive weekend workshop using a genuine Panama hat body, handwoven in Ecuador from toquilla palm fibers.
Friday evening, you’ll shape your hat by blocking it over one of our vintage wooden hat blocks. Once molded, the hats will dry overnight.
Saturday, you’ll finish your hat by refining the brim, sewing in a sweatband, and adding a classic ribbon trim. You're also encouraged to bring any extra embellishments—feathers, vintage pins, or special ribbons—to personalize your piece.
