Panama Hat articles from the web

[Panamabob]

From what I've seen and heard:

The people of Aromo are a little bit concerned, but the opportunity of better paying jobs is more important for them. They should have been getting a piece of the pie all along.

The people of Montecristi are not worried at all. They get a piece of the pie.

The people of Pile would go for higher paying jobs, too. A chosen few get a piece of the pie.

I note that the photos in the essay came from www.brentblack.com


The people of Cuenca, to this day, misname their hats as Montecristi. Not all, but many.

"A Hungarian Artist and a collector per excellence, Olga Fisch immigrated to Ecuador in 1939 and soon recognized the vast potential of the folk artisans of Ecuador. She was a humanist visionary, whose main attribute, in her own words, was to "know how to recognize quality in a work of art ". She began working with indigenous artesans, throughout the country drawing upon the artists`visions of their natural world and helping them to refine their artistic expression to bridge the gap between folk art and traditional fine art."

Seeing the issue of Montecristi fino apellation control at the ECUADORIAN MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE'S SITE ....exactly the authority and the level where this subject should be handled. Finally, a change will come????

"Una denominación de origen reconocida deja de existir legalmente, solamente si dejan de existir los factores naturales que la crearon.

Una de las denominaciones de origen protegidas mas famosas en el mundo es CHAMPAGNE, y nos referimos al vino espumoso que se obtiene sólo en la región de Champagne en Francia. El gobierno de Francia, a través de las inmensas exportaciones de este producto obtiene impresionantes réditos anualmente, un caso similar sucede con Cuba y su denominación de origen HABANO.

En Ecuador, existen varias denominaciones de origen no reconocidas, entre las principales, por ejemplo, Montecristi, por su sombrero de paja toquilla, Ibarra, por su gustoso Arrope de Mora.


Nuestro famoso sombrero de Montecristi, es conocido internacionalmente como el sombrero de Panamá, cuando en realidad proviene de Ecuador. No será entonces tiempo de que alguna persona que tenga legítimo interés solicite la protección de la denominación de origen?"

y hemos visto mas de un caso, donde empresas que han tenido fuertes inversiones en la protección de los frutos del desarrollo tecnológico o de su nombre se han visto perjudicadas por la falta de protección internacional adecuada de sus activos intangibles.

Hatty Award - Carry Somers

From Hat Life

Carry Somers, founder of the fair trade company Pachacuti, spent 16 years working to improve the livelihood of Panama hat weavers in rural Ecuador. The supply chain was controlled by middlemen, known as ‘perros’ (dogs due to their exploitative practices). Working directly with women weavers, Pachacuti ensures that all monies stay in the hands of the producers.

"We assist elderly weavers with a pension plan,finance capital expenditures and support community development projects. We financed Alcoholics Anonymous, built a grocery store and assisted families in educating their children."

There is a fear that the Panama hat industry could die out as young people are migrating to urban areas. Carry established an annual apprentice program in Sigsig, a remote village in Southern Ecuador. They train weavers to become professional hat weavers. Pachacuti has been selected by IFAT (International Fair Trade Association) to pilot the first International Fair- Trade handicraft label.

In 2009 their new label will provide consumers a guarantee that their Panama hat has been produced in a sustainable manner with respect for the environment and the weavers. The Panama hat, once the symbol of colonial rule, will become an emblem for social justice after the hats are certified as Fair Trade hats. They were Ethical Entrepreneur of the Year 2008 winners and British Small Business Champions Ethical Award winners in 2007.

Just sent a cease and desist, or show me the money. Was just verified that Simon gets $500.00 per hat, maybe a bonus, and still has an outhouse to sit in. I do hope he's getting more!
