classy sweaters

Guatemala's Luisa Villavicencio designs an elegant long sleeve sweater that is knitted with the cotton harvested at her family's farm. Featuring ivory, brown and jade horizontal stripes, the colors are natural as Villavicencio rescues the harvesting of different cotton seeds used by the Maya. She says, "I designed this sweater considering the desires of today's women to dress in casual elegance."

Knit from cotton yarns in a solid chartreuse hue, this lovely cardigan displays intricate zigzag patterns. Thailand's Ying and Joy present this cardigan, featuring a shawl collar and open front.

Add a festive flair to your holidays with our Andean-inspired sweater, combining the iconic imagery of llamas amidst majestic mountains with a classic Christmas twist.

This glorious sweater coat is designed by Peru's Daphne Scapa, who works with a blend of organic Peruvian cotton and soft baby alpaca fibers in navy and white to create it. The generously-sized sweater features a wide shawl collar, wide cuffs, and a long self belt, all knit in a classic seed stitch. The versatile and comfortable jacket will quickly become a familiar favorite in your closet.

This preppy twist on classic plaid skirt will look fantastic with lady-like heels and even cooler with a pair of grungy combat boots. Cristina Villalobos designs it in a maxi length with a side slit in a pink, light blue, and navy plaid pattern. Pair it with a simple tank top for summer or a warm turtleneck sweater and tights for winter. The cool cotton blend knit makes it a great pick for travel.

Cristina's work draws inspiration from traditional Peruvian techniques and materials, contemporary styles, and retro glamour. She is currently juggling working as a designer with finishing school and raising her son.
