"A favorite shawl"
Was attracted by the colors and material, 100% alpaca. I order the first one for a gift, and soon after bought a second one. Light, comfortable and warm, great for travel

"An important part of my clothing"
This is a great piece, big enough to cover your whole back or thin enough to make it into an elegant/designed scarf. Great material and the real alpaca!

"Very nice mens scarf"
I had been to Arequipa back in 1989, but this is the first time I am luck to have purchased such a finely crafted product from that region of Peru.

"Gorgeous, warm and full of character"
This is the third shawl Ive bought made by this artist...They are stunningly beautiful, practical and warm... Each color palette has its own character and the subtle variations in the weave are gorgeous. I live in a bitterly cold winter climate so appreciate the lightweight warmth these shawls provide, combined with the elegance of the colors and patterns...
