The replica of the charro hat given to Pope Francis during his visit to Mexico is a piece of remarkable craftsmanship. Made with exquisite rabbit fur, this hat is a true work of art that pays homage to a deeply rooted Mexican tradition.

It was given to Pope Francis with the purpose of offering him an authentic and representative symbol of the charro culture, as opposed to the popular airport hats that often do not do justice to the richness and authenticity of this tradition. These cardboard hats, adorned with silver threads, do not reflect the true essence and value of a genuine charro hat.

This special hat features a pita embroidered toquilla that highlights its elegance and craftsmanship. The chapetones, which frame the Vatican coat of arms, symbolize the keys of St. Peter. They are also adorned with silver roses, a tribute to Pope Francis' deep appreciation for the Virgin of Guadalupe.

With this replica, we sought to convey to the Pope the authenticity and cultural importance of the charro hat. We hope that this gesture was a symbol of appreciation and respect for His Holiness, while underscoring the need to preserve and honor our roots.
