"Absolutely stunning!"
This is the most beautifully made sweater. The quality is outstanding. It has a heavy drape without being bulky so it hangs beautifully. I usually buy from Peruvian connection and their quality does not come near the quality of these sweaters. No pilling and I wear it almost daily! I needed to exchange the size of one and the service was outstanding and so fast. I now own two colors and will get the third also. Please make it in more colors! Thank you!
