Gorgeous Statement Piece!
I hesitated to purchase this because of "one size fits most" sizing. The poncho is so stunning that I decided to take the plunge. The package arrived beautifully wrapped, and I saw that the poncho was perfect. I am 5' 10", and the poncho falls well below my lower hip area until about 5 inches above my knee. Love the poncho styling with the unique soft collar that drapes over the neckline. I own lots of wraps, and the design of this piece appealed to me since it won't fall off my shoulders because of side stitched sleeve openings. Fabric is soft and nice weight (alpaca/acrylic/wool). The Inca Claret design is a modern twist on traditional Peruvian textile motifs. The center torso is black, and the red/black graphic design runs down either side. Front and back are identical. High quality workmanship. Easy to wear casual/dressy and perfect for travel. My new "go to" wrap!

Blue baby alpaca hat for her baby blues
I bought this as a gift for my wife. She requested an alpaca hat - in blue - to match a blue coat she had. I doubted if one was available, but went looking. I needed dimension specs, as she needs something fairly large. Does she like it?: "I love my beautiful new hat! The denim color is rich, and the baby alpaca fibers are so soft -- those who find other wool itchy enjoy relief with alpaca. The hat's design adds to its beauty, with panels of one stitch alternating with bands of another stitch -- this helps create comfortable grip that keeps the masterful stitching aligned when the hat is worn. Also, the hat has no seam, which adds to the comfort and appearance. I love the little floral finish, too, and appreciate that the larger size is available (for those of us outside the "one size fits all" zone). This hat evokes warmth: warm clothing in cold weather, warm regard for the artist, and warm feelings for the giver, who searched until he found the perfect hat. Sincerely, Susan"
