alpaca wool

In the open markets of towns throughout the Peruvian Altiplano, one can find stalls full of fresh flowers. Some of the blooms have been used for hundreds of years to create natural dyes, like the yellow kiko flower, part of the daisy family. Designed by Aldo Norero, this gorgeous reversible alpaca-blend cardigan is decorated on the front, back, and long sleeves with trailing kiko blooms and vines, featuring hand-embroidered embellishments on a blue and black base hue on each side.
