"These are addictive!"

A beautiful shawl, in a good, wearable size. Soft and lightweight and warm. You should know, though, that gossamer wine and maroon are the same color! I would love to see some new colors, and not just new names for the same colors.

"exquisite weave"

This is a really beautiful, open weave--shell-like pattern. Its not as soft as what I expected for 100% baby alpaca.

"So pretty and comfy!"

Beautiful comfortable top with such pretty colors. I usually wear just a solid-colored long-sleeved shirt underneath, works for going out and for just lounging around the house. Just FYI the material is fairly stretchy so if you re between sizes (I m usually between M and L myself) I d say size down!

"This is perfect for Californias version of cold weather!"

I bought this beautiful cape (ruana) several months ago, and Ive worn it non-stop! its flattering, very warm, and so easy to wear without having to deal with sleeves. I love it, Ill wear it until its worn out, and Ill buy another one. My favorite article of outdoor clothing for cool weather. It works when Im dressed casually, and when I dress up. Perfect!
