"So very very nice!"
I ordered this because I loved the nice coffee/mossy brown. On fact, I bought it as a birthday gift for myself. I had no idea it would be as absolutely beautiful as it is. I am a knitter who knits with high end yarn. I really appreciate the quality of the yarn and the beautiful drape. It is rustic and earthy and cozy and simply, absolutely, beautiful!

"Gorgeous Triangle Poncho"
I love my new poncho which has been obviously made with great skill. The stitching is so beautiful. Lucky for me my favorite color is teal! This very attractive poncho is soft to the touch. Thank you, Alfredo! I am going to really enjoy wearing this lovely poncho quite often.

"Beautiful Hat for the Cold Weather"
Very comfortable and warm hat. The 100% natural alpaca is a beautiful weave. The length of the hat can be worn over the ears for cold weather or like a cap for warmer weather.

This is the fourth poncho Ive bought from Alfredo Falcon, and theyve all been soft, lovely, and quality made. I love throwing them on on a cool day and heading out. They add add a touch of charm and uniqueness to my whole look. Cannot recommend this artisan and his work enough.
