Alfredo Falcon of Peru designs this striped acrylic kimono-style ruana with bold colours and a mixture of geometric motifs. A touch of baby alpaca, the fine fleece from the season's first shearing, adds to the ruana's warmth and feel. Coconut shell buttons define a sleeve when buttoned. 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 colours but I remain true to Incan and colonial motifs."

I have been wearing this all the time this summer. I love it, it s the perfect thing for sitting on the patio in the evenings relaxing. I even wore it for camping, fun and colorful, cute, and practical and cozy.

This is a very warm and cozy hat. I bought two different colors, black and brown. The only reason I give 4 stars rather than 5 is because it tends to stretch much larger than a snug fit. A double layer reversible style will be ideal.

The weight of this is deceiving since it is so lightweight, but it sure is warm! I love it! Its bright and cheery and fun to wear.
