Napa Hat

The Napa Hat Classic. Understated. Endlessly wearable. The Napa is our interpretation of the pure Panama silhouette. Clean lines. Balanced proportions. A refined essential that belongs in every warm weather wardrobe. Hand woven in Ecuador from toquilla straw, each hat is created by indigenous artisans using centuries old weaving techniques. After weaving, the brim is carefully steamed to shape its crisp, tailored finish. The origins of the Panama hat trace back thousands of years to the Valdivian culture of coastal Ecuador. Artisans used the strong, flexible fibers of the toquilla plant to create breathable headwear called tocas, designed to protect against the intense equatorial sun. That same commitment to durability and lightness defines the Napa today. Made through a natural, environmentally committed, and socially sustainable process, this is a piece you will reach for year after year. Style it with oversized frames for a Riviera mood or with your favorite ANEA HILL classics for a modern American finish.
