Designed by Luisa Villavicencio, this beautiful ruana has an eco-friendly mission. The generous cloak is handwoven on a backstrap loom from natural, undyed sepia cotton and strands of recycled denim in steel blue. With a loose weave that drapes beautifully and elegant macramé fringe, this wrap is a contemporary take on a traditional Latin American cape.
