"Now a “go to” sweater!"
My son loves the sweater we sent him. It fits great, is very soft, feels good and looks good. And it is very warm. We are all very happy with our purchase.

"Attention-getter!"
Beautifully thick and vibrant alpaca sweater, soft and warm for Denver winters, and with vibrant colors that make me proud to answer that I purchased it from Novica. Terrific craftsmanship and quality.

"Exquisite"
This sweater is absolutely beautiful. The colours are earthy and vibrant, and the wool is still so soft and warm after many washes. Shipping was super quick to Australia too. Do not be put off by the price, it is 100% worth it and I recommend this or any other sweater by Fernando. Love it!

"What a fantastic jumper"
This jumper is beautifully made and is clearly an authentic Peruvian garment made with love and care. Alpaca wool is a clever temperature regulating wool. I wore it this year in Hokkaido - the northern island in Japan in temperatures down to minus 20 degrees C! It is a pleasure to wear and I have worn it in the UK Winter too.

"So soft and cuddly!"
Beautiful craftwork and wonderful to wear -- soft, snuggly, and comfy. Always get compliments when I wear it. Goes with jeans and leggings also, given the longer length. Highly recommended.

This is one of my favorite things to wear in the Spring, Fall and Winter. Great on its own and layered with a turtle neck underneath.
