Details

Hand-knit textures revel in the yana (the Quechua word for "black") hue of this hat. Alfredo Falcon crafts the piece from 100% alpaca, its subdued design imbued with Peruvian style. The alpaca thrives at the extraordinarily high altitudes of the Andes, resulting in a fiber of unparalleled softness and warmth. A hip accessory for the winter wardrobe.

My husband loves it!”

Theres nothing like alpaca, even better than cashmere. And when the hat is beautifully made and you have absolute confidence in the seller, its a cinch to be a great purchase--which it was. I have so much respect for the artisans who keep the ancient crafts alive. Thank you!

Pleased”

Exactly what you would expect from an alpaca watch cap. Lightweight, soft and warm. Much lighter than my cashmere or wool caps. Fine, very fine workmanship. Would definitely recommend.

Stylish”

Sumptuously soft, snuggly and stylish. A lovely, classic colour combination. The gloves have a slim profile so easy to move in whilst wearing and to undertake necessary tasks whilst keeping hands warm and cosy. Alfredo is certainly a masterful knitter and colorist! Would like to buy more items in the future - maybe a matching scarf? How wonderful it is to wear a piece of handmade Peruvian craftsmanship whilst striding through the streets of London. Thank you to all Novica does to make this possible!

Lovely scarf!”

I just received this -- it does take a while to arrive. But the wait was definitely worth it. This scarf is feather light but very soft and warm. I love it!
