Crocheted Fedora Panama (rollable)

Product Description

An ideal casual panama hat for travelling as it really can be rolled up very easily without getting damaged. Not quite as lightweight as the classic panama, but a good option if you want something a little different.

By working directly with the co-operative of women weavers, we not only ensure that they receive a high price for their work but, by cutting out the seven middlemen who normally participate in the panama supply chain, we are able to get the panama hats direct to you at a very good price! Our aim is to create constant employment for our 400 weavers throughout the year and this also keeps our retail prices low.

Pachacuti: Certified Fair Trade

Pachacuti is the world’s first company to be certified to carry the World Fair Trade Organization’s (WFTO) new Fair Trade label. This is the first audited certification which verifies that an entire supply chain is following fair trade principles and sustainable environmental practices.

 

All of Pachacuti’s products delivered commencing in 2010 will have a label stating:

 

 

Why Pachacuti?

Pachacuti is the UK’s only Fair Trade hat specialist, working directly with women's co-operatives in Ecuador. The panama hat supply chain has traditionally been controlled by middlemen, known as ‘perros’ (dogs in Spanish) due to their unscrupulous purchasing methods and weavers typically receiving a very low price for their skills. With a Pachacuti panama, the women carry out the entire production process from weaving to finishing and thus retain far more of the final value of the hat.
