ABOUT US

Giemme is a very young brand, born from the enthusiasm of its two founders Gladys and Marleni, aimed at bringing the real value of the traditional Ecuadorian straw hat to light on the Italian market. Known throughout the world, this hat is the star of a long and fascinating history that spans social and human aspects that are often ignored by most.

“Our mission is focused on the principles of working ethically, on solidarity and eco-sustainability. Our main commitment is to help keep a centuries-old activity alive, while protecting a priceless cultural heritage from gradually disappearing, adding value to the human and professional dignity of its artisans, providing them with reasonable remuneration.”
