"Beautiful Excellent Sweater"
The color is a perfect Rust Orange, darker and richer color than a bright orange; the fit is perfect, an extra large as I want to wear it over a blouse. Feel is perfect and warm, perfect for Bay Area, CA winter weather.

"High Hopes, Disappointed"
I really hate to leave bad product reviews, but considering the price of this sweater (Handcrafted Alpaca Blend Sweater, Andean Orange), I feel I should let others know. Let me start off with the pros: This sweater is absolutely beautiful, it looks just like the picture. Its soft and warm, if a bit itchy, but I suppose thats to be expected when you order alpaca. The fit is great; the arms and torso are both good lengths. The reason Im rating this item so poorly is that the thread pulls very easily; two were pulled the first time I wore it. One was from a necklace, and another from when my cat (whose nails are clipped and filed) put her paw on me. Eventually this lead to a hole that I attempted to sew, but now Ive got a very obvious depression in my $70 -something sweater. My beautiful sweater isnt so beautiful anymore.

"Beautiful, very versatile sweater"
Love the color and texture of this sweater! It is warm, but not too much so - and its warm color brings extra-warmth in the cold winter months. I?ve had this sweater for many years, and it?s become one of my go-to choices in the winter. I highly recommend it! As always, the service was fast, polite and efficient.

"Beautiful orange color and fun style"
This sweater is very pretty and the color is as shown in the photo. Sizing is accurate -- I am 58 and 155 lbs -- and the Medium fits well. I like the buttons along the shoulder and the style is cute. The sweater is a little thinner than I expected and it has a noticeable odor to it that I am hoping will go away now that is in open air. Overall, I am very happy with the sweater and so glad it fits!

"A luxurious handmade article"
The alpaca scarf is luxuriously soft, a perfect ensemble for men or women, very cashmere like except warmer, and blends with nearly any color coordination. This is my second piece from this artist and he is really a first tier craftsman. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.
