Sustainability
At PENICHE, we choose materials with care for both people and the environment. Raffia, toquilla straw, wool, and natural leather come from renewable sources, ethically harvested with respect for local ecosystems. We work with artisans and suppliers who share our values, ensuring transparency throughout every stage of the production process.
Conscious Design
Instead of the seasonal chase for trends, we offer durability – in form, in material, and in concept. We focus on sustainable solutions, ethical processes, and genuine relationships with artisans for whom quality is not a slogan but a way of working.
Sustainable Sourcing
At PENICHE, we select our materials with care for both people and the planet. Raffia, toquilla straw, wool, and natural leather come from renewable sources, ethically harvested with respect for local ecosystems. We collaborate with artisans and suppliers who share our values – ensuring transparency throughout the process and minimizing environmental impact at every stage of production.
Artisanal Craftsmanship
Our hats are crafted with respect for local heritage and craftsmanship that has been passed down for generations. We collaborate with artisans from Ecuador and Madagascar – regions where the art of weaving with raffia and toquilla straw is deeply rooted in culture and identity. Each hat is handmade with exceptional attention to proportion, finishing, and the texture of the material.
Recyclable Materials
The materials used in PENICHE products – such as raffia, toquilla straw, and natural leather – are sourced from nature and are fully biodegradable or recyclable. This ensures that our hats can return to the cycle at the end of their life, minimizing environmental impact and supporting the concept of a circular economy.
Ethical Production
By choosing PENICHE products, you support fair working conditions and fair wages for the artisans we collaborate with. Our hats are made according to fair trade principles – with respect for people, traditions, and local communities.
