Wilber Calapuja of Lima, Peru grew up with a mother who knitted sweaters to sell, but it wasn't until he was invited to work at a sweater factory that his interest in designing and making them awakened. His technical background has helped, and he is now independent, creating and making products that are completely his own. This roll-neck cardigan is 100% baby alpaca in a variegated grey with front buttons and patch pockets. It is perfect for men's casual wear.
