Saving the Art of Montecristi Panama Hats

Business Practices & Ethics

We exist to prevent the extinction of a fine art. Weaver in Doorway The business was created in 1987 with the specific goal to prevent the impending extinction of the art of fine hat weaving in Montecristi. How do we save the art of fine hat weaving? Simple. Buy as many hats as possible, raise market prices so weavers earn enough to make weaving a desirable way to make a living.

The Montecristi Foundation

To save the art, first we must save the artists. We have been working, sometimes successfully, for more than 20 years to improve quality of life for the weavers. When we have the funding, we provide free medical care, prescription medications, blood tests, eye exams, even food. Now, we are building a water purification and storage system.

El Gringo Loco

The weavers never met a buyer like me. Brent Black examines a hat. I don’t try to beat them or cheat them, like they’re used to from the local buyers. I treat the weavers like my teammates, not my adversaries. They make what I sell. I want them to keep weaving. I pay higher prices, give them free supplies, even free groceries. An entertaining example:

There’s More to Life Than Hats

A small boy with eyeglasses This little boy caught my eye. I noticed his eyes don’t agree with each other. I worried he couldn’t learn to read, that kids would tease him. We got him to an optometrist and into a series of corrective lenses. Here’s how it happened.
