Women's Panama Hats in Paris
How to choose a Panama hat for women?
The authentic Panama hat is a must-have accessory for any wardrobe. Both practical and chic, it's a must-have for any woman who loves beautiful things! This straw hat is a unique piece, and each piece has its own story. Courtois Paris guides you in choosing the model you'll love! The traditional Panama hat is natural or sometimes white, with a black ribbon. Since then, it has been available with many colored ribbons, and its straw is sometimes tinted. A white Panama hat will be elegant and understated, very pure. A natural Panama hat will be classic and versatile. A colored Panama hat will be more original and casual. Finally, the important thing about a Panama hat is its quality: it is measured in grades. The finer the strands of the hat are braided, the higher the grade will be. The time spent weaving it is therefore even longer... Some hats take more than a year to make! This is called Montecristi... a timeless skill, held by a handful of Ecuadorian artisans. Braiding is therefore essential when choosing your hat. The finer the hat, the more supple and lightweight it will be. A true marvel!
What shape of Panama hat should a woman choose?
