Alfredo Falcon creates a reversible design for a ruana cloak in cool steel blue adorned with abstract florid arabesques. The cloak is knitted with a rich alpaca blend and closes with coconut shell buttons. A warm scarf ensures soft, stylish warmth.
Alfredo's sales have increased more than three times since starting with Novica. He started with only a few assistants and now can offer work to his helpers and several other women who help fill his orders part-time. Many of the women who work for him are now able to provide essentials for their homes like mattresses, refrigerators, and other appliances.
Over twenty years ago, Alfredo was infected with tuberculosis at just 22 years of age. For nine months, he was bedridden and unable to work. Tuberculosis is a deadly disease with more than 5,000 people per day passing away from the disease. Alfredo survived and was able to become healthy again.
Alfredo currently provides full-time jobs to a single mother, a man trying to fund his education, and several women who are bringing income to their households.
Alfredo currently supports English studies for his four nephews, with the hope that it will help them achieve a better future.
Alfredo was recognized by the city hall for his excellent work.
The material is medium weight.

Alfredo, I am so pleased with the workmanship and feel. Nice that the scarf is attached. It drapes beautifully and the color is rich. The weight is perfect. Thank you so much. I am anxious for winter now to enjoy it. Trish

Gorgeous striking color with striking pattern. Just received today - can't wait for winter. It is medium weight, as another reviewer pointed out, but it will be very warm. (This is not my first alpaca blend poncho/ruana from Alfredo Falcon.)
