Hand-painted Panama Hats & Bags by distinguished Greek artists MEET THE DESIGNERS Elegant, artistic, and quality craftsmanship - Ibo-Maraca is known for premium handcrafted Panama hats. The intricate hand paintings, the classic silhouette, the quality of a straw – everything is created with the individuality and lifestyles of those who are always looking to wear something unique in mind. The name of the brand is an anagram of the Venezuelan city of Maracaibo, which is the birthplace of Effie Vakaki, one of Ibo-Maracas founders. Born in Venezuela and raised in Greece, and inspired by her exotic roots and the vibrant spirit of the Mediterranean, Effie set off to create a brand that combines classic with contemporary style. In 2014, Effie and her daughter Christina founded Ibo-Maraca and dedicated themselves to the creation of high quality hats. The hats are handmade in Ecuador, home of Toquilla straw, which is the primary material used during the production process. Crafted meticulously and with a passion for detail, the hat weaving process can take up to 8 hours. Once woven, each piece is hand-painted by renowned Greek artists, who create unique illustrations. Our signature new hat shape is exclusively designed for Ibo-Maraca, one more unique feature of our brand. IBO MARACA EFFIE & CHRISTINA This rare result is a combination of artists’ craftsmanship, along with Effie’s and VAKAKIS Christina’s inspiration, which has derived from travelling around the world, collecting beautiful images and memories. This collaboration is what makes an Ibo-Maraca hat a unique piece of art. Elegance and attention to detail are the brand’s essence.

Authentic Panama hats have a rich history and fascinating story-- as unique as the artisans who create these hand-woven stylish hats, which combines a natural resource of Ecuador with a long tradition of this South American culture. Since the 1600s when the Spaniards came to South America, they found native people wearing head coverings made of Palmata Straw or the Carludovica Palm. Two centuries later, they improved and evolved to become the “Panama hats”, as they are known today. Around the 1800s these hand made hats started exporting making them available to travelers and merchants who purchased them at the Panamanian ports, so the name actually reflects their point of international sale not their place of domestic origin. It wasn’t until the end of the 18th Century that the Panama hat marked its place in history when it was showcased at the universal show in Paris. The Panama hat received world-wide attention soon became the defining fashion accessory for the elite. The legendary genuine Panama hat is made of Toquilla Palm and the very finest Panama hats are hand woven by artisans in the small town of Montecristi, in Ecuador. Each hat is woven by hand and much of the work must be done at night to the early morning hours in order to protect the straw from damage.

  • Letter Carriers' Uniform: Hats, Introduction

    Letter Carriers' Uniform: Hats, Introduction

    Letter Carriers’ Uniform: Hats, Introduction In 1868 the Postmaster General listed a cap as the letter carrier’s uniform headgear. It was to be made of the same material as the coat, bound round with a black cloth band 1 1/2 inches wide, and have small buttons at the sides. In 1873, panama hats were authorized for summer. In 1887, numbered badges were added to the carriers' headwear, and helmets were approved for use. Helmets were short-brimmed with a tall crown, similar to British bobby helmets. In 1893, the more general straw hat replaced the panama hat as allowable summer headgear. By 1901, a western-style hat appeared, with a stiff crown and wide brim. Though never described in the Postal Laws and Regulations, photographs indicate this cowboy-style hat was standard wear at some Post Offices. From 1902 through 1948, postal regulations listed the hat, cap or helmet as acceptable carrier headwear. Uniform manufacturers advertised many variations in headgear style. The bobby-style helmet was last advertised in The Postal Record in 1907; in 1949, the safari-style helmet ws first pictured. Although carriers at each Post Office were to dress uniformly, photographs indicate that this was not always enforced. In 1955, only the helmet and cap were listed as acceptable headgear. The helmet was specified for summer; it was made of molded fiber in a blue-gray cadet shade and had a maroon chinstrap. The cap was a blue-gray eight-point style cap with braid the same color as the cap and a maroon chin strap.

    Driving Truman Capote: a Memoir

    Theron Montgomery Driving Truman Capote: A Memoir On a calm, cool April afternoon in 1975, I received an unexpected call from my father on the residence First Floor pay phone in New Men’s Dorm at Birmingham-Southern College. My father’s voice came over the line, loud and enthused. “Hi,” he said, enjoying his surprise. He asked me how I was doing, how school was. “Now, are you listen- ing?” he said. “I’ve got some news.” Truman Capote, the famous writer of In Cold Blood, would be in our hometown of Jacksonville, Alabama, the next day to speak and read and visit on the Jacksonville State University campus, where my father was Vice-President for Academic Affairs. It was a sudden arrangement Capote’s agent had negotiated a few days before with the school, pri- marily at my father’s insistence, to follow the author’s read- ing performance at the Von Braun Center, the newly dedicat- ed arts center, in Huntsville. Jacksonville State University had agreed to Capote’s price and terms. He and a traveling companion would be driven from Huntsville to the campus by the SGA President early the next morning and they would be given rooms and breakfast at the university’s International House. Afterwards, Capote would hold a luncheon reception with faculty at the library, and in the afternoon, he would give a reading performance at the coliseum. My father and I loved literature, especially southern liter- ature, and my father knew I had aspirations of becoming a writer, too. “You must come and hear him,” he said over the phone, matter-of-fact and encouraging.

    Comprendre le monde musulman 3 Petite histoire sociale du voile Gilbert Clavel, 07 décembre 2017 Introduction Phénomène du vêtement islamique dont voile qui a fait débat : irruption d’un fait « étranger » aux normes communes. Question de vocabulaire : voile ? Foulard ? ou coiffe, couvre-chef. Prendre du recul : une histoire de ce bout de tissu qui couvre les cheveux, peut prendre différentes formes, est un élément vestimentaire parmi d’autres, variable selon les lieux et époques. (photos coiffes à travers âges) Ce recul permettra de se rendre compte de la diversité et complexité des significations que le port ou non port d’un fichu peut recouvrir. I. Remarques préalables : le paradoxe du vêtement en général, du voile en particulier A de multiples significations. A. Le vêtement en général a des fonctions paradoxales (le paradoxe…) : à la fois une fonction de distinction et une fonction de socialisation (normalisation) Une fonction de distinction (être autre) Une distinction des sexes : homme-femme (le vêtement comme le couvre- chef des hommes diffèrent de celui des femmes) Une distinction sociale. Ex.des castes hindoues (vêtement de soie) Une distinction culturelle ou religieuse Une distinction professionnelle : cadres costard-cravate et ouvriers en bleus de travail. Des tenues professionnelles obligatoires : cuisine… Une distinction générationnelle : le vêtement jeune Une distinction politique de contestation d’un ordre social : skinheads Une fonction de socialisation, de normalisation, voire d’uniformisation (être le même) Il manifeste l’appartenance à un groupe social (groupe jeune, classe sociale ou caste, etc.) 1 Il participe à une construction identitaire : que ce soit d’ordre social, générationnel, culturel, religieux (notamment dans les mouvements fondamentalistes : kippa, qamish, barbe, foulard, turban sikh… Le vêtement est producteur de normes sociales qui s’imposent aux individus inconsciemment : être habillé comme les autres, au moins ceux de mon groupe.
