Where do the materials for Sandoval straw hats come from?
The materials used to make our straw hats are diverse. We primarily use three materials: palm, paper straw, and seaweed straw, all of which are ethically and traditionally sourced. Palm is used to make hats in different regions of Mexico. The Guerrero area's characteristic small braids are joined one by one until they form the base of the hat. This same material is used to make traditional items such as baskets, bags, and containers. This kind of work is a manual process that requires a great knowledge, time and dedication. The Sahuayo palm is another traditional fabric from Sahuayo Michoacán that has been passed down through generations. Paper straw for summer hats is a process that traditionally requires a lot of sun. The material need to be cut, varnished, and then left it to dry naturally in the sun before starting in the hat making process. Finally, seaweed sun hats come from a technique developed on Mexico's coasts. Artisans and natives in the area have found seaweed to be a natural and durable material to make many products.
