Brand
The House
Ecuadorian handwork. Italian proportion. Direct service.
The House
Origin gives meaning. Proportion gives presence.
PanamaHatters begins with a clear principle: an original Panama hat is woven by hand in Ecuador from Toquilla straw.
In Italy, selection continues through shape, brim, band, colour, and finish. Every choice must serve fit and real use.
02
Proportion
Brim, crown, band, and colour are considered together with the face, size, and intended use.
03
Service
Sizing, availability, and care remain accessible before and after purchase.
Mr Panama
The eye behind the selection.
Marco Tibiletti built PanamaHatters around a practical idea: helping each client recognise the right Panama, not simply a beautiful hat.
His work brings together product knowledge, Italian proportion, and direct guidance on shape, size, occasion, and finish.
Heritage
From Ecuador to Italy.
Value remains legible throughout the journey: Toquilla fibre, hand weaving, shape selection, and final finishing.
01 · Material
Toquilla straw.
The fibre is prepared and selected before weaving. Fineness, uniformity, and the way the material responds all affect the result.
02 · Hand
Ecuadorian weaving.
The hat takes shape by hand. Regularity, weight, and working time remain visible in the weave.
03 · Measure
Italian finishing.
Shape, brim, band, and fit complete the hat for the face and the use it is intended for.
