From Peru, this black cardigan is designed by Alfredo Falcon to dress in warm elegance. Open at the front and with long straight sleeves, the cardigan is knitted of a soft cotton and alpaca blend in black.
Alfredo's sales have increased more than three times since starting with Novica. He started with only a few assistants and now can offer work to his helpers and several other women who help fill his orders part-time. Many of the women who work for him are now able to provide essentials for their homes like mattresses, refrigerators, and other appliances.
Over twenty years ago, Alfredo was infected with tuberculosis at just 22 years of age. For nine months, he was bedridden and unable to work. Tuberculosis is a deadly disease with more than 5,000 people per day passing away from the disease. Alfredo survived and was able to become healthy again.
Alfredo currently provides full-time jobs to a single mother, a man trying to fund his education, and several women who are bringing income to their households.
Alfredo currently supports English studies for his four nephews, with the hope that it will help them achieve a better future.
Alfredo was recognized by the city hall for his excellent work.

I've got this in three colors (black, turquoise, and purple) and love the style, versatility, softness, and weight (not too warm for spring or autumn, but warm enough for winter layering). An instant solution on those "don't know what to wear" days.

Although well made, I did not like the shape of the cardigan on my frame. It was just too much material for me. Also didn't like the blend

Very practical and stylish, Not bulky. soft material. Ordered a much larger size as I like a criss-cross style not open cardi as the model is wearing. Perfect for me to wear with dressy multicolored outfits.

This fit well. I ordered up one size to make it longer. Either size would likely have worked. It is really well made. All season sweater.
