Bonita - Genuine Ecuadorian Panama Hat
This gorgeous feminine PANAMA HAT is the real deal, Bonita is Equadorian for Beautiful!
Each of our hats are hand-woven from the fibres of the TOQUILLA PALM, a plant native to Ecuador.
As each hat is hand crafted it will therefore differ in shade and brim size.
Did you know that Panama Hats, despite their name, are not actually made in Panama? It's said that workers on the Panama Canal were given these hats to protect them from the intense heat. Today, they make for a fabulous accessory to wear in the sun, shielding your hair and face from harmful rays. However, not all Panama hats are suitable for rolling - we recommend the colonial style with its ridged crown. And as a bonus, these hats only get better with age, gradually shaping to your head and developing a softness and unique patina.
How to Measure your head for your perfect fitting Panama
Use a flexible measuring tape: Ensure it's flexible and not too tight or loose
Position the tape: Place the tape measure around your head, just above your eyebrows and about 1 cm above your ears
Take multiple measurements: For accuracy, measure several times
Ensure a snug fit: Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight, as this measurement will reflect the hatband size. Looser is better: Looser hats are easier to adjust with hat sizing reducer tape, if needed.
Choose the next size up if in-between measurements: If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.
Our Panama Hats are available in 4 sizes. 57cms, 58cms,59cms & 60cms
CUSTOMER REVIEWS
As always it's just the friendliest relaxing atmosphere to shop in with just the right amount of assistance, it's like going round to a friend's house and trying on stuff from her wardrobe!
Jacket was on pre-order, was kept up to date on the order status and as soon as they came back in stock it was sent out for delivery...excellent little business x
Always found great help support and inspiration from those at Snob Rachel is brilliant as are others who work there always good advice for those shopping alone!
I ordered it a bit later than I'd have liked but it still arrived a few days before her birthday. Very well packaged- I used the packaging as the gift wrap, it was wonderfully wrapped.
I have always had a great shopping experience with Snob. You always receive an honest critic, which I appreciate, it doesn't matter what member of the team is in Snob on that day.
