Details

Alfredo Falcon of Peru designs this striped acrylic kimono-style ruana with bold colors and a mixture of geometric motifs. A touch of baby alpaca, the fine fleece from the season's first shearing, adds to the ruana's warmth and feel. Coconut shell buttons define a sleeve when buttoned. Lightweight, the ruana makes a wonderful layering piece.

Alfredo Falcon learned the craft of weaving from his parents, who learned from their parents before them. He says, "We have been a family devoted to the world of textiles for generations. I use modern colors but I remain true to Incan and colonial motifs."

"Feminine AND modest!"

Beautiful and well made, this poncho is light, airy and surprisingly warm! It provides a lot of coverage, but is still sleek and very elegant. I have it layered over leggings and a long sleeved athletic shirt… I can take it off, change my shoes and hit the gym. There are so many colours in this poncho; it creates a lot of mix and match options. It s a fantastic wardrobe piece and looks great on many different body types. I wish there were other colour combinations available!
