    Pile, Ecuador. The finest paja toquilla sombreros in the world.

    I think Panamabob is right... I’m sorry Panamabob, I talked with no idea about your work. I hope you can forgive me. Now, I'm still angry with Nike. The education is the most important help. Is a slow way but the best way of all. "But, don't assume that the people whose pictures you have...

    I will politicize. “They create luxury items, but not in luxury.” I agree with feltfan... I’m living in Argentina. I think Panamabob maybe don’t understand the Latinoamerica sad reality. Panamabob, you do a great work and (maybe) you aren’t a bad person but the Espinals could...
