"A luxurious handmade article"
The alpaca scarf is luxuriously soft, a perfect ensemble for men or women, very cashmere like except warmer, and blends with nearly any color coordination. This is my second piece from this artist and he is really a first tier craftsman. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

"Elegant!"
The color is a rich slate grey. Weave is airy, but warm. Perfect for those of us who dont like to feel choaked around our necks. Didnt like the tag, so I cut it off. Looks much more expensive than it is!

"lovely scarf"
This scarf arrived and beautifully packaged. Included was a post card of Machu Picchu-very lovely and a mini doll (!) on the package. The scarf was put in a lovely paper gift wrap. The scarf itself was lovely. The pattern on the scarf is light and delicate. I cant wait for the weather to turn colder so I can wear my scarf. The yarn is so soft and cuddly

"Truly perfect"
I don t use the word perfect very often, nor lightly. But it applies here! This poncho is the perfect shade of indigo, with a bit of heathering for interest. The knit is stretchy yet retains its shape. It is light weight yet warm and feels like a gentle hug. I have already worn it almost every day since it came, and I live in an area experiencing hot temperatures right now! But it is perfect for the air-conditioned areas. I will take it with me traveling, for sure. Could not be happier.!

"Very soft"
Overall very happy, the fabric is very soft and the craftsmanship seems to be of high quality. Would have liked the sleeves to be a little more fitting but I am looking forward to wearing it often this winter. Gracias Alfredo!
