Hand Woven Baby Alpaca Blend Shawl from Peru, "Andean Valley Flower"
This gorgeous shawl combines a beautiful palette with rustic textures to give you the perfect statement piece. Raquel and Gregor hand-weave it from a baby alpaca blend in a bright combination of midnight blue, deep pink and garnet, with details in light brown. Wear it as a shawl on cool summer nights or an oversized scarf in winter weather.
Raquel and Gregor label their pieces with the name Silpa, which is the Aymara word for comfort, pleasure, and softness. The couple aims to preserve their homeland's rich textile and weaving traditions through their work.
