Vertical lines that seem to fold over one another to create a field of rhombuses give texture to this charming and soft poncho from Peru's Alfredo Falcon. The Andean artisan combines luxurious alpaca with acrylic and wool to craft the warm garment which has ribbing along the crew neckline and the sides and bottom. Two buttons along the poncho's sides serve to create very loose-fitting arm holes. In elegant taupe, the versatile poncho is great for layering and can be worn belted or loose, with jeans on the weekend or to work on casual Friday.
