“PANAMA STRAW

The process of handweaving Panama Straw requires precision and skill. Each straw hood is woven from natural toquilla straw grown in Ecuador. The fiber is braided into an intricate pattern until a finished hood is produced. The material is sent from Ecuador to our factory where they are shaped and trimmed into finished hats. Each hood is woven by a single weaver and takes anywhere from 8-10 hours to complete the weaving process. Panama straw is weather resistant and provides natural UV protection. It is the choice hat for summer because of it’s lightweight durability. When cared for properly, Panama straw will last a lifetime. Because of the natural fibers, our custom dyed panama colors will transform and change slightly over time. Due to the handwoven pattern and the natural dye, each hat is considered one of a kind. All our hats are made in the USA.”

 These are the kind of dresses you have to see in person. Pictures just do not do them justice. The color combinations, and details make my heart sing.

Dragon Bags

Dragon bags are 100% leather and hand woven in India. 

Craig Wright opened his own weaving production unit in India where his bags are skillfully made. His intricately woven handbags are reminiscent of wicker and reed in varying, natural tones. Each is done in top quality leather meant to soften and age beautifully with time. Frequent use allows for the development of a unique patina, telling a story about the particular bag and on a larger scale, the brand.
