LEGEND OF PANAMA, THE GENUINE ONE

Exclusive origin and qualityOFTEN IMITATED, NEVER EQUALLED

Genuineness and excellence are the hallmarks that we have always been imposing on ourselves in order to propose the most exclusive Panama hats. Entirely hand-woven in Ecuador by the best artisans from Cuenca and Montecristi, each hat Legend of Panama is a unique masterpiece, that has become an iconic and legendary emblem of elegance and a benchmark in both formal and informal styles.

Unfortunately, this success has raised interest. Everywhere counterfeits and fake hats appear favoured by commercial and industrial interests that have nothing to do with our commitments towards the Ecuadorian handicraft or the old-age knowledge for Panama making. To fight this endemic scourge, we are able to ensure the provenance and the exclusive quality of each of our hats.

Identification and traceabilityLEGEND OF PANAMA HATS’ GENUINENESS

We have established a multifactorial system of both identification and traceability for each hat, that guarantees its genuineness and its quality. You must be able to identify and recognize:

Inside the hat,

  • An original round label in a black and cream (or silvery) cloth displaying the name Legend of Panama.
  • An international labelled band ‘THE ORIGINAL PANAMA HAT 100% PAJA TOQUILLA TRADITIONALLY HAND MADE IN ECUADOR.

Outside the hat,

  • Our signature with the two letters ‘LP’ in a black, silvery or 18K golden metal.

Then all the hats Legend of Panama are sold with an identity card and a laser hologram proving their unique character for an international warranty. This document always comes with a second control label proving the respect of our quality controls. This letter necessarily displays the production number with the handwritten signature of the Quality Manager. Moreover when you buy a genuine Panama hat on our website or from one of our authorized retailers, the Panama hats Cuenca and Montecristi will come with a nominative certificate of authenticity ensuring the Ecuadorian provenance and proving the hand making by the best artisans of these towns according to the traditional skills applied to each of our creations.
