THE ECUADORIAN
“BASKET HAT”

Folding Basket Hat - 
Perfect for Gardening

As seen in the Classic French Film

The authentic famous Ecuadorian Basket Hat is finally available for sale exclusively through Baron Hats Online!  BCH Owner and master hat maker Mark Mejia discovered these amazing hats while on a research trip to Ecuador for several of his motion picture projects. 

He fell in love with these unique, functional and beautifully crafted hats, and made special arrangements with the local craftsmen to have them made to order for him.

This ingenious hat, made only in the isolated mountain communities of Equator is perfect protection for those sunny weekend walks. And then, simply by turning it over, and pulling on the hand-crafted strings, it turns into an easy-to-carry basket to hold flowers, wild berries, fruits, seashells, or any “treasures” you suddenly find on your special journeys! 

The hat itself is a real “panama style” hand weave from local straws, making it amazingly light and cool, yet so durable, it will last for years! The trademark “símbolo del orgullo” hat-band ribbon is made of hand woven native Ecuadorian native Indian cloth, with unique local artistic patterns, depending on just which weaver makes it, and which area they come from. Therefore each hat and band is unique, one-of-a-kind, and will be slightly different in color and pattern. 

The perfect gift for the hiker, gardener, or outdoors lover in your life. And be sure to buy one for yourself! It will not only be a treasured edition to your adventures in the world, but a magnificent conversation piece!

One size fits most.
