As I have said before, when I was a little girl I was always surrounded by Panama hats. I also remembered to do so many times the \u201cPanama Hat Tour\u201d around the coast and the highlands here in Ecuador.<\/address>\n
We all knew about the controversial history behind our Panama Hat[1]<\/a>. But nowadays the controversy has become much bigger. Many people discuss about either to call straw hats Ecuadorian hats or Panama hats? I often hear a lot of commentaries from my compatriots about advocating for our artisans and straw hat tradition. They don\u00b4t like the name Panama Hat, in fact they refuse it. I understand them, it\u00b4s normal to take care of your belongings. Nevertheless, the fashion world often confuses clothing names with the place where these become worldwide famous. That\u00b4s why I bring you today two illustrations:<\/address>\n
-The Capri Pants: \u201cThe European fashion designer Sonja de Lennart invented the famous Capri pants in 1948. Well known as Capris, long or three-quarter shorts, they end below the knee and calf. The pants name comes from the Italian island of Capri, where they rose to popularity in the late 1950s and early 1960s. First only worn by women, Capri pants also became popular with men in many countries, especially in Europe and Latin America[2]<\/a>\u201d.<\/address>\n
The Bikini: \u201cOn July 5, 1946, French designer Louis Reard unveils a daring two-piece swimsuit at Piscine Molitor, a popular swimming pool in Paris. Parisian showgirl Micheline Bernardini modeled the new fashion, which Reard called \u201cbikini.\u201d He was inspired by news of the U.S. atomic test that took place off the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean earlier that week[3]<\/a>.<\/address>\n
Everything on Ecua-Andino headquarters, from our marketing team until our tags, is carefully chosen to promote the Ecuadorian origin of the Panama hat. Most of our clients know this fact; however, \u201cEcuadorian Hats\u201d are still called Panama Hats. We could start a long crusade of marketing campaigns, claiming for our Ecuadorian rights and history, but it would a difficult task to say the least.<\/address>\n
Then why do we only scream or react with anger but instead start to spread the word with faith, pride and conviction? I just started this post. What will be your step?<\/address>\n

Previamente les dije que desde peque\u00f1a siempre estuve rodeada de sombreros de paja toquilla y tambi\u00e9n recuerdo haber hecho muchas veces la ruta del Sombrero en la costa y sierra, aqu\u00ed en el Ecuador.<\/address>\n
Todos sab\u00edamos sobre la controversial historia detr\u00e1s del \u201cPanama Hat\u201d.[1] Pero hoy en d\u00eda esta se ha incrementado. Muchas personas discuten si el sombrero de paja toquilla debe ser llamado \u201cEcuadorian Hat\u201d o \u201cPanama Hat\u201d. A menudo escucho muchos comentarios de mis compatriotas, que se emiten en defensa de nuestros artesanos y tradici\u00f3n. A estos no les gusta el nombre \u201cPanama Hat\u201d y es m\u00e1s lo rechazan. En realidad yo los comprendo, es normal cuidar de los que nos pertenece. Sin embargo, el mundo de la moda muchas veces confunde algunos nombres de ropa con el lugar en donde se han hecho mundialmente famosos. A continuaci\u00f3n les mostrar\u00e9 dos ejemplos de esto:<\/address>\n
-Los pantalones Capri: \u201dLa dise\u00f1adora europea Sonja de Lennart invent\u00f3 los famosos pantalones Capri en 1948. Estos shorts largos o tres cuartos, terminaban por debajo de la rodilla y la pantorrilla. El nombre proviene de los pantalones de la isla italiana de Capri, donde se hizo popular a finales de 1950 y comienzos de 1960. Primero solo fueron usados por las mujeres, pero tambi\u00e9n se hicieron populares con los hombres en muchos pa\u00edses, especialmente en Europa y Am\u00e9rica Latina [2] \u201c.<\/address>\n
-El Bikini: \u201cEl 5 de julio de 1946, el dise\u00f1ador franc\u00e9s Louis Reard presenta un atrevido traje de ba\u00f1o de dos piezas en Piscine Molitor, una piscina popular en Par\u00eds. La corista parisina Micheline Bernardini model\u00f3 la nueva moda, que Reard llam\u00f3\u201d bikini\u201d. El cual era inspirado por las noticias de la prueba at\u00f3mica de Estados Unidos que se llev\u00f3 a cabo fuera de la isla Bikini Atoll en el Oc\u00e9ano Pac\u00edfico [3].<\/address>\n
En Ecua-Andino, todos los miembros, desde nuestro equipo de marketing hasta los encargados de poner las etiquetas, promueven el origen ecuatoriano del sombrero. Podr\u00edamos empezar una larga cruzada de campa\u00f1as de marketing, reclamando nuestros derechos ecuatorianos en la historia, pero ser\u00eda una tarea dif\u00edcil, ya que este nombre est\u00e1 implantado en la psiquis de las personas alrededor del mundo.<\/address>\n
Entonces, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 s\u00f3lo gritamos o reaccionamos con ira en lugar de difundir su verdadero origen con fe, orgullo y convicci\u00f3n?<\/address>\n
Yo ya empec\u00e9 con esta publicaci\u00f3n \u00bfCu\u00e1l ser\u00e1 tu paso?<\/address>\n
