Weaving life - The Story of Ecuador's "Panama Hat" (1/3)

[broadcast20081]

I've seen Cuenca city keep making "Paja Toquilla Hat" (Panama Hat). They have not forgotten the tradition.

Todos los ecuatorianos deberíamos hacer una cruzada para que se le devuelva su verdadero nombre: Montecristi hat o Ecuador hat.

Basta de confusiones...

[broadcast20081]

@javitod Pienso que eso se resuelve sencillo. Simplemente que en Ecuador no se le llame "Panama Hat" nunca mas. Que se lo exporte bajo otro nombre, un nombre mas justo y que haga referencia a su origen. En el extrangero pueden llamarle como les de la gana, el asunto es de que desde Ecuador salga con otro nombre. Unicamente los extrangeros cultos saben de su verdadero origen, la mayoria no.

Sorry but it has a lot to do the fact that was in Panama where the hat got famous. Please, respect the nation and their people that are not trying to get credits for this.

I remember that my Grandma used to do this hat by hand. But in Cuenca. In that city the hat is part of the traditional costume unique in all Ecuador. this costume will not dissapear in Cuenca because we are very conservative

It is really sad... but the art of these weavers is dying.

Thanks a lot for this excelent work. I was just looking for a video for a group I recently created in Facebook: 'Panama Hats are NOT from Panama'
