Maki Palmata Product Photoshoot

Honoring Ecuadorian Female Expert Artisans’ Legacy by show-casting handmade masterpieces. 

MAKI

Means “Hand” in quichua, the language spoken by the female artisans, makers of the hats. It represents the handmade process, as well as honoring the artists, their culture and invaluable legacy. 

PALMATA

Each hat is forged with Carludovica Palmata, a noble and natural resource that gives them the Toquilla Straw to create their hats.
