100% alpaca sweater, 'Mountain Snowflakes in Rose'

Jacqueline

Sep 18, 2023

So pretty I purchased a second

Product picture

My first was the Mountain Snowflake in “brick.” The fit for both is perfect, not boxy nor too form fitting; it skims the body nicely for a semi-tailored look. The sweater goes well with (colored) jeans or casual pants. Measurements were spot on. I’m 5.’5” , neither an apple nor pear shape, and length was perfect. I have shorter arms and was able to turn cuffs to adjust without fabric bunching at wrists, Due to sensitive skin, I need a thin under garment for comfort which doesn’t interfere with the sweater’s look or wearing ease. It’s really a beautiful sweater.

I liked the colors of this sweater, and I always love the work of this artist. I think this will be my new favorite sweater.

Reversible alpaca blend cardigan, 'Kiko'

Carmen

Sep 10, 2023

comfortable, warm, versatile, elegant

Product picture

I wear this for casual and business events, the reversible feature makes it adaptable to my wardrobe. It keeps me war, but never too hot. It is the right length, weight, and outstanding quality. It is a blend, and washes well (I handwash, set it down flat, roll it in a towel to soak up excess water, then let it dry flat). Best purchase ever.
