"One of my favorite sweaters"
This cardigan is truly fabulous and you can wear it in many ways. Depending on how you wear it, the sweater can be more western cowgirl or Indigenous in its look. I love it with a knit black dress or a long black skirt and top. Add some western boots for greater fun. I loved this one so much that I just ordered the shorter off-white and black trim version. Thank you Wilbur for a great piece of wearable art.

"My son loves this beautiful sweater!"
My heart danced with joy and gratitude when I opened the package containing the “Woodland Walk” alpaca pullover sweater from the Andes exquisitely made by Wilber Cajapuja. I touched the sweater even before looking at it; its softness is heavenly and it has a gentle scent of the earth. This item is beautiful. Thank you, Andrea
