Brisa Weave:

Brisa weave in the Panama hats is small square-like weaves by using the weft-and-waft method. It is known as lighter than Cuenca, allowing you to fold the hat for short periods of time, such as travelling. Handwoven in Ecuador.

How To Fold Your Panama Hat:

Your Panama Hat should be rolled up for travel use only. It should not be rolled up permanently.

1. Firstly, turn down brim of Panama hat all the way down.
2. Hold crown of hat from left to right.
3. At the centre ridge of the crown, fold carefully, naturally push one side of hat into other.
4. Loosely, fold gently into a cone shape.
5. To hold it loosely in place, a band or scarf is recommended to keep it in place.

Looking After Your Panama Hat:

• Avoid getting it wet or being rained on, as it will lose its shape.
• To preserve, avoid crushing or scrunching hat, as it may break natural fibres.
• Rolling of hat is only for travel purposes, do not leave folding for long periods of time.

Cleaning And Reshaping Your Panama Hat:

• Firstly, try to remove any dirt with a dry cloth from the Panama hat.
• If there are more stubborn sections, use a warm damp cloth or facial wipe to gently remove remainder.
• Avoid all solvents, soap, or cleaning agents.
• Avoid any unnecessary rubbing as this may cause damage to the natural fibres on the hat.
• To reshape a hat that may have lost some shape, steam on a low setting, then gently dry with a hairdryer.
• The brim can be reshaped by placing a damp cloth on the hat, and iron steaming on a low setting. The iron should never come in direct contact with the natural fibres of the Panama hat.
