Versatile with lightweight warmth, this reversible alpaca-blend cloak is great for travel in changeable climates. Modeled after the Andean ruana, a traditional style of draped cloak, its pattern of flowers in boysenberry-purple and burgundy is inspired by the wildlife of the Peruvian mountainside. The generous attached scarf and button front keep you warm when winds pick up.
Alfredo’s sales have increased more than 3x since starting with Novica. He started with a few assistants and now has grown to employ 9 full time employees and several other women who help fulfill his orders. Many of the women who work for him are 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 9 months he was bedridden and unable to work. Tuberculosis is a deadly disease with over 5,000 people per day passing away from the disease. Alfredo survived and was able to become healthy again.
Alfredo currently employs 9 people full time; a single mother, a man trying to fund his education, and 7 women who are bringing income to their households.
Alfredo currently supports English studies for his 4 nephews with the hope that it will help them achieve a better future.
Alfredo was recognized by the city hall for his excellent work.
Arrived on time, but missed delivery since the package needed to be signed for. The colors a beautiful and the ruana is a nice heavy tight weave. My wife loved it. The only downside; I opened the site tonight and found it is on sale!

this is a beautiful garment. Unfortunately, it is too heavy and cumbersome of a handicapped lady.

A wonderful gift for any woman; lightweight warmth in striking colors, and one size fits all! I've chosen this shawl for two family members and each was thrilled with its beauty and practicality.

Gift for our daughter. Colors are vibrant and weight is perfect for 3 seasons (unless it is sub-zero) like it is now. Beautifully woven and finishing is also great.

I was almost certain this product will reach grate expectations...and then some. Very well made; it is as warm as it looks in the picture. I am sure I will give it the best use possible when traveling at the end of the year, visiting cold weather areas. I feel proud of the work being done in my home country! Congratulations.
