Article-Nr.: EP4008 / 100% Buntal Straw
Buntal hats are manufactured from buntal fiber extracted from buri palms (Corypha spp.). Most buntal fibers are sourced from the buri plantations of Quezon Province/Phillippines. Traditionally, it is extracted by from seven to ten-year old buri palms. Three to six leaf stem (at least 1.8 m in length) are cut from a tree twice each year. The base of the stem is skinned and the exposed fiber beaten with a bolo blade until they are separated into bundles. The name of the fiber comes from this process.
