Alfredo Falcon of Peru designs this striped knit ruana with bold colors and a mixture of geometric motifs. A touch of baby alpaca adds to the ruana's warmth and feel. Lightweight, the ruana makes a wonderful layering piece.

Alfredo Falcon learned the craft of weaving from his parents, who learned from their parents before them. He says, "We have been a family devoted to the world of textiles for generations. I use modern colors, but I remain true to Incan and colonial motifs."

Lovely, warm ruana”

I am very impressed with this garment. The colors and patterns are very intricate. It is finished nicely also. I will enjoy wearing it. The buttons on the sides help give the ruana shape.

I have the ruana in two colors. Love them.”

This ruana has wonderful colors and lightweight. It fits beautifully over layers. It has served outdoors and in office settings--much more versatile than a cardigan! Many compliments on this piece.
