{"title":"Camilo Panama Hats","description":"\u003cp class=\"h2\"\u003eFor over thirty years, Camilo Haffar connected Australia to Ecuador's centuries-old hat-weaving craft. Born in Ecuador, he built The Original Panama Hat Company on direct relationships with artisans, travelling around the world each year to oversee production and then hand-finishing every hat in Australia. His commitment to quality led the brand to become known simply as Camilo, a name carrying three decades of trust and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"h6\"\u003eThe New Era\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast forward to 2024, and the next chapter began.
