Montecristi Panama: Is this world’s most expensive hat?


Hats have always been associated with royalty and in continuing with the tradition here is the Montecristi Panama, the worlds finest hat which is available for only $100,000. The Montecristi Panamas are known to be created from extremely fine toquilla straw and this job can only be done in Ecuador.

The master weaver Simón Espinal created this hat and it took him complete five months to make it a reality. Another five artisans were involved in preparing and finishing the hat which took them another couple of weeks to do it. Weighing less than an ounce this hat is as thin as a piece of stationery. If you are interested you can contact the Brentblack company for one of the finest hats in the world.
