“Lovely”

This arrived very quickly and was beautifully gift wrapped. Its a lovely shawl, soft and warm and beautifully woven. I only wish it were about six inches longer (I am 56). I would say the color is more winter white than alabaster, but it will work with any colored outfit. I have been very pleased with all my purchases from Peru.

“Beautiful shawl for any occasion”

This shawl is really gorgeous, and is obviously a handloomed work of art as well. I was planning on this being a gift but I am not sure I can part with it!

“FAR more beautiful in person!”

This totally different in color than all the other hats on Novica. It is has varying shades of light green, especially. The picture looked more brown. It fits well and is a delight to wear.

“Very Plush!”

I ordered these gloves because my hands are constantly cold, and I couldnt be happier with them! They are very soft and thick and are, in a word, plush. They have two layers, with the outer layer being colorful and the inside being dark gray. The colors are beautiful and they do their job well. Of all the pairs of gloves Ive ordered from here, this pair is one of my favorites!

“For Alaska”

These are so warm. Buying gloves without seeing them first is always a little risky if you live in Alaska, but these are PERFECT. They are reversable (light grey on one side and dark red on the other), but the absolute best part of this pattern is the ribbing around the wrists. Long for under jacket sleeves. Thank you!!
