100% alpaca shawl, 'Quiet Atacama'

Jan

Jul 8, 2017

Gorgeous and warm

This is the finest made wrap I have ever purchased. The photo doesn't do it justice. The neutral colors are rich and lucious. The weave is perfection. This wrap works as a scarf and a wrap. I took it to Africa where morning and night is cold and this wrap was an all purpose item. I used it over my head with my hat on top, I used it to dress up an outfit as a wrap, I used it as a neck warmer and it was brilliant on the airplane as a lap blanket. Truly a stunning Best Buy. Thank you!

The jungle comes alive

I’ve seen sloths in Central American jungles; so the “Mother Sloth” wood carving really jumped out at me. Fernando Castro is a superb artist!
