The Founder

Bringing Colombianas line of handmade Panama Hats into the market was entirely the conception of founder, Alexandra Kraft. She was inspired by Colombia’s tropical lifestyle, bold colors, culture, art and the idea of expressing yourself through what you wear- which is simply so powerful in itself.

“Wherever you turn to look in Colombia, life is colorful and full of culture and art. You can still see that the country and its people have been through a lot in the past but you can feel the gratitude and joy for life everywhere.” says Alexandra Kraft, Founder of Colombianas

Making use of colors, patterns and textures to express yourself truly holds the power to influence your state of mind as well. At Colombianas, the idea is to empower people by being bold, classy and confident through creative designs and artistic accessories.

Colombianas- The Panama Hats

The signature line was created to implement the Colombian tropical lifestyle into an accessory that would creatively represent the culture of Colombia and essentially capture the vibe of the place.

The authentic hats are all sourced from Montecristi, Ecaudor that is known to be the land of tight woven high-quality Panama hats. After being sourced, these hats are individually curated and designed to perfection. They are then hand-painted by a team of Colombian artisans who create each piece with quality craftsmanship using bold colors and art.

The idea is to express through art and create one-of-a-kind pieces that standout from the crowd and make for the most gorgeous and fashionable accessory, inspired by the beauty of Colombia.

Be it the paved streets of Cartagena with its pastel colored buildings to the blooming pink bougainvillea trees, it immediately draws people to the beauty and exquisite vibrancy of the city. The designs of Colombianas Panama hats source direct inspiration from the aesthetic of the gorgeous city.

It makes for the perfect fashion accessory especially if you are visiting a tropical destination along a sunny beach or just looking to unwind, relax and simply chill while you are out and about.

Fun Features and Techniques

What makes the Colombianas Panama Hats incredibly special is that each piece is perfected to your taste and preferences, be it in terms of size, color or prints. The brand offers a vast range of sizing in order to ensure that each client gets their absolute perfect fit.

To create the most perfect size and shape, artisans use a century old weaving technique using toquilla straw. It ensures that the hat is tightly woven and makes the most beautiful straw pattern as a base for it to be hand painted.
