Metier is an ecuadorian brand of handwoven hats, they work closely with artisans from various towns in Ecuador, who keep alive this tradition and art of craftsmanship.For this project, Metier wanted to redesign their box and tag, which serve as packaging for their products. They also wanted to create sub-brands for three of their "One of a Kind Hats" product lines, and design additional tags for each one of them.
About Metier
These hats are handwoven from straw (carludovica palmata), they're recognized all over the world as "Panama" hats, but the truth is that this kind of hat has been made in Ecuador for centuries, they received the "Panama" moniker because that's the place where they have been sold and popularized since the California Gold Rush.
Metier is also about embracing nature and taking care of it, they're always interested in doing things that leave a small footprint in the ecosystem, including their stands and printed material, such as packaging.
