The timeless Jipi Japa hat
Our authentic Jipi Japa hats from Mexico are suitable for men, women and children alike. The traditional Jipi Japa hat can be bleached, natural or colored.
Genuine Jipi Japa hats are easily identified by the center of the hat at the top of the cap, which must have a rosette-shaped braid. This determines whether or not the Jipi Japa is genuine. A genuine Jipi Japa hat must be braided by hand, and this craft is even listed as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage site.
This summer hat is ideal for outings in town, the countryside or on the golf course, allowing you to flaunt your fashionable outfits. This type of hat is just as suitable for lounging on a hammock as it is for attending a fancy party or wedding.
The Jipi Japa hat collection: Mexican authenticity and elegance
Our Jipi Japa hat collection is crafted by our artisans in Becal, a Mexican town in the state of Campeche. It is made from a variety of young palm shoots called "Carludovica Palmata", respecting local Mexican craftsmanship.
The Jipi Japa is not a specific form of hat, but rather a material and a weave, like its brother the famous Panama hat. It can take many different forms, such as the porkpie, fedora, trilby, boater or even the Jipi Japa cap.
The difference between the Jipi Japa and the Panama hat lies in the region of origin, not the material used. Both Panama and Jipi Japa hats are made from palm straw of the Carloduvica Palmata variety, or more precisely from the young shoots of the palm tree. This regional and material distinction gives each hat its own identity and distinct charm.
Now a victim of its own success, the jipi japa hat comes in a range of colors and shapes, made from a variety of straws. In terms of price, everything is possible too, and varies according to the quality of the straw and the time taken to weave it.
Opt for a Jipi Japa hat and let yourself be seduced by its timeless style and exquisite craftsmanship, offering a touch of elegance and authenticity to your outfits. What's more, it's the perfect accompaniment to your guayaberas for an elegant look.
