My sweetheart loves her gifts from Novica artisans. We feel good about our support for these artists and craftsmen (and women). It was exactly as portrayed and received in a reasonable time.
The alpaca softness, colors and stitching of this sweater have made this my absolute favorite -- and I have A LOT of sweaters! I wore it recently on a trip and got so many compliments. The picture just does not do it justice!
I bought it as a gift to myself.
It is very soft and nice and doesn't take much place when storing it.
I'm planning to use it to warm my self over a summery dress at a coming wedding.
