Skillful fingers, a handful of strands of a palm-like plant and a lot of patience predominate among those who make Ecuadorian toquilla straw hats, which today are woven with the care of the traditions of yesteryear.
Héctor Alarcón, one of the artisans, gets up early to start his day before the heat tightens, because in the Montecristi canton, Manabí, where he lives and works, the humidity makes the heat of the average 22 ° C recorded in area.
In the store Modesto Hats, Hector weaves the fine strands to shape the hat whose preparation can take up to a month.
el segundo sombrero que les compro, este mas fino que el primero, un especial presente para mi esposa; cuando se lo di, simplemente le encanto. Gracias Modesto por la calidad del sombrero.
