About Borges & Scott

Founded in 1978, Borges & Scott is an award winning family run business, currently run by Alice Borges and David Scott.

We are long established producers of high quality Panama hats.  We combine the iconic South American hat with the best elements of British quality and style.   All our hats are handmade in Ecuador and finished by our experienced team in Bristol, England.

We have two passions:  hats and delighting our customers.  We work tirelessly to ensure our hats are of the highest possible quality and will go out of our way to ensure that you’re completely satisfied with your purchase from us.

We take every step we can to ensure that our Panama hats are made in accordance with high ethical standards.  We are proud to be a member of BAFTS (British Association of Fair Trade Suppliers) and work hard to ensure that our hats are made under “fair trade” conditions.
