From movie stars to athletes, from presidents to singers, everyone wants to look their best, no matter the fashion trends. Trends are constantly changing, but one of the fashion icons has remained unchanged for many centuries – this Ecuadorian hat made from Toquilla palm fiber.
The art of weaving the traditional Ecuadorian hat from toquilla palm fibers was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage lists on December 6, 2012.
