Lovely, warm ruana”

I am very impressed with this garment. The colors and patterns are very intricate. It is finished nicely also. I will enjoy wearing it. The buttons on the sides help give the ruana shape.

I have the ruana in two colors. Love them.”

This ruana has wonderful colors and lightweight. It fits beautifully over layers. It has served outdoors and in office settings--much more versatile than a cardigan! Many compliments on this piece.

Lovely scarf!”

I just received this -- it does take a while to arrive. But the wait was definitely worth it. This scarf is feather light but very soft and warm. I love it!

Beautiful Construction and So Soft!”

This sweater has impeccable construction and is soft and very flowing. Unfortunately, because of my shorter frame it looks too big on me and overwhelms me. I cant go smaller because it is the S/M size. :(
