Our hats are designed with individuality in mind — the kind that speaks softly but leaves a lasting impression. Each piece is the result of precise craftsmanship, hand-shaped from natural materials such as raffia and toquilla straw, with deep respect for tradition and local communities.

Instead of chasing seasonal trends, we offer durability — in form, material, and intention. We focus on sustainable solutions, ethical processes, and authentic relationships with artisans for whom quality is not a slogan, but a way of working.

At PENICHE, we choose materials with care for both people and the planet. Raffia, toquilla straw, and natural leather come from renewable sources, ethically harvested with respect for local ecosystems. We work closely with artisans and suppliers who share our values — prioritizing transparency and minimizing environmental impact at every stage of production.

Our hats are created with deep respect for local heritage and craftsmanship passed down through generations. We collaborate with artisans from Ecuador and Madagascar — regions where the art of weaving raffia and toquilla straw is an integral part of cultural identity. Each hat is handmade with exceptional attention to proportion, finish, and material structure.

This is living craftsmanship — where every piece bears the imprint of human hands, time, and intentional work. More than just an accessory, each hat tells a story of origin, skill, and reverence for form.

The materials used in PENICHE products — such as raffia, toquilla straw, and natural leather — are derived from nature and are fully biodegradable or recyclable. This allows our hats to return to the cycle after their useful life, minimizing environmental impact and supporting the principles of a circular economy.

By choosing PENICHE products, you support fair working conditions and fair compensation for the artisans we collaborate with. Our hats are made in accordance with fair trade principles — with respect for people, tradition, and local communities.
