With a bold and sophisticated style, this Peruvian wrap scarf makes the perfect cold-weather companion. Alfredo Falcon knits it from baby alpaca wool for a pleasing texture, finished at each end with subtle ridges. A solid color in smoke grey completes this must-have accessory. Baby alpaca refers to the fine fleece from the season's first shearing.
Alfredo's sales have increased more than three times since starting with Novica. He started with only a few assistants and now can offer work to his helpers and several other women who help fill his orders part-time. Many of the women who work for him are now able to provide essentials for their homes like mattresses, refrigerators, and other appliances.
Over twenty years ago, Alfredo was infected with tuberculosis at just 22 years of age. For nine months, he was bedridden and unable to work. Tuberculosis is a deadly disease with more than 5,000 people per day passing away from the disease. Alfredo survived and was able to become healthy again.
Alfredo currently provides full-time jobs to a single mother, a man trying to fund his education, and several women who are bringing income to their households.
Alfredo currently supports English studies for his four nephews, with the hope that it will help them achieve a better future.
Alfredo was recognized by the city hall for his excellent work.
"This makes us a family entirely devoted to the world of textiles, and we have been for generations."
