The Ecuador Hat Collection
Made with love, by people we know.
More than just the perfect pieces to top off your summer looks, our Ecuador Hats represent a tale of heritage and artistry. Each hat is handwoven with the skills and knowledge passed down through generations of indigenous women who have preserved the art of weaving the Paja Toquilla straw since the 1600s.

In 2011, our Co-Founder Karla Gallardo traveled back to her home country of Ecuador to work alongside the Sigsig Community and created Cuyana’s first collection of hats. This season, we are continuing that mission with three new styles.

Our first-ever product and the piece that started it all. The traditional silhouette is now a seasonal favorite, featuring a narrow brim and a contrasting grosgrain ribbon bow.

A modern interpretation of the classic silhouette. Our Wide Brim Ecuador Hat makes a strong statement while providing ample shade on hotter days with an extended, full brim.
La Toquillera Visor
A chic and modern visor intricately woven with a wide brim for shade and an elastic band for comfort and adjustability.

Last year, in honor of the history and craftsmanship behind our signature hats, we changed the names of our iconic designs from “Panama Hat” to “Ecuador Hat” to accurately represent their origin and the people behind them.
