"Always Cold"

Beautiful gloves and warm. I wore these every day this past winter - soft and exactly what I needed. They still look brand new - despite the daily use.

"Utterly disappointed"

The design and appeal of the hat is very nice, but it seems very fragile. The thread is very thin, and it seems this hat will last at most couple of months of daily use. I did not realize before that the weight is 40grams (?!?!), and thats for a reason: it is only one layer of a very thin thread. This hat is by no means a winter hat, this is a hat for warm temperatures. I dont want to go through the hassle of returning the item, but I should do that. I know is an artisan product, but it is not worth the price Ive paid ($25),

"Not miss hat"

I visited Peru last year and made the mistake of not purchasing one of these hats. Thank heaven for Novica and their support for artisans! I finally got the hat I wished I had gotten when in Peru.

"Sweet and warm!"

A beautifully warm, soft hat that really does its job. The ear flaps keep your ears warm and the hat fits snuggly. Not your hat if you have a big head. The circle of llamas around the hat make it even cuter. Great colors, great buy.
