About this Item

Made with ancestral techniques to obtain a gorgeous look, this cardigan is the perfect complement to several ensembles.

“Beautifully designed & woven sweater”

This muy hermosa cardigan is simply perfect—bright, soft, warm. The more open weave band around the middle is wonderful. This is an heirloom sweater. Fits true to size. I was nervous about tariffs, new fees, or big delivery delays on international packages because of new ridiculous U.S. trade policies and rules. Delivery was only delayed 2 days.
