Details

Fernando Cano designs a stylized version of the Andean cross, known as a chakana, for this handsome gray cardigan. Detailed in beige, the chakana represents the link between this world and the world above. Featuring cedar wood buttons and lapel v-neck, the jersey stitch cardigan is knit of alpaca, a warm, lightweight and soft fleece worn in the Andes since the days of the Inca Empire.

“Beautifully crafted sweater!”

My son was impressed as soon as we presented him with the gift box. He was wowed by the sweater! The styling of pattern and colors is exceptional, right down to the buttons! This is a quality sweater that you wont find from retail outlets. We are most satisfied with the purchase.

“Lovely sweater but runs small”

My husband loved the pattern and the feel and quality but it was too small. Good deal for our grandson but I had to order an extra large to replace the one I bought for my husband for Christmas.For comparison purposes, he wears a 42 regular suit and usually buys large shirts.

“Generous size, soft and warm.”

Got this cardigan made by Fernando Cano and his wife. It is generous in size and a little loose fit, but very soft and comfortable. I like the color combination and unique knit pattern. A nice and warm cardigan for spring and fall.
