About this Item

The magnificent Inca Empire left the world a legacy of stunning textiles ornamented with intricate geometric patterns, often in a palette of vibrant hues. As heiress of the ancient Andean culture, Peruvian artisan Maria Cutipa crafts a 100% alpaca cardigan sweater in a kimono style with trendy short sleeves, an open front and elegant fringes dangling from the piece. The garment is also embellished with classic Inca motifs in a warm colour scheme, making this unique design a symbol of the artist's beloved homeland.

“Extremely versatile sweater”

This alpaca cardigan is great for between season wear and is made warmer if you wear a long-sleeved item under it in the dead of winter. I love the fringed bottom and the fabulous colors that work for both warm and cool color types. Beautiful and well done piece. Fits well with my indigenous clothing collection.

“Vibrant colors”

Colors are vibrant and sweater is soft and comfortable. It does run a bit small, however, so consider ordering a size up. Delivery was prompt.
