cool sweaters

Fernando Cano conjures a hypnotic composition for the design of this men's sweater. Contrasting warm browns and cool blues, the sweater is knit of soft alpaca wool.

Cut like a cape, this generous alpaca-blend wrap is knit in a smooth jersey tweed. A beautiful and subtle medley of deep, rich browns distinguishes this versatile design by Alfredo Falcón. He finishes it with a hand-crocheted border.

Artisan Tomas Sota loves sharing his alpaca designs because he feels that it is like sharing a piece of his Peruvian homeland. This beautiful caramel brown coat is crafted from a blend of wool and baby alpaca, the finest, softest fleece from the season's first shearing. It will keep you cozy and warm, while the open front design makes for easy on-and-off when you are on the go. The satiny lining is a complementary golden brown shade.

From Peruvian artisan Nestor Yana comes this attractive and casual pullover sweater. Made from acrylic, the coffee-colored sweater has bold stripes in light beige, copper, and dark brown at the bottom and on the sleeves. Lightweight and soft, the sweater is a perfect choice for cool days.

Add a splash of adventure to your everyday look with this comfy zip-front hoodie. Ricardo and Cesar combine a hood with a turtleneck for maximum coverage and warmth, and add a pouch front pocket perfect for tucking in your hands or your cellphone. A geometric pattern in contrasting white, crimson, and blue runs across the chest and the upper arms while a more discreet version of it decorates the cuffs and hem.

Ricardo and Cesar were brought together by their love of knitting and textiles. They combine traditional designs with modern techniques to create everyday contemporary apparel and accessories.
