cozy coat

Love this beige or tan alpaca ruana, so elegant and beautiful. The fabric is gorgeous with also crochet details on the edges. Perfect layer and thickness. This color goes with everything since it's a plain color that goes well with any other color. It's perfect for spring too in this light tone. I highly recommend it and also this artisan. It's great quality. And it looks so fashionable, yet very practical. I have neck and nerve issues to my arms and hands so I love ruanas, opened in the middle, over ponchos. I hope that she make it in other colors too. And she continues making beautiful ruanas like this one, in other styles. I wanted another beige one but in a blend material with ruffled edges, because I already has one that I love in black and white, but it was sold out. I picked this one then, and it was a great choice too. This one seems thicker with more alpaca, so warmer, so it can be worn when it's cold in the winter. I hope that this artisan bring back the blend ones again.

What can I say? After all the positive reviews of this alpaca-wool blend coat, I was like a kid at Christmas waiting for the package to arrive. I was not disappointed. From the cashmere-like texture to the silken lining and almost bespoke stitching, I was totally enchanted by this coat. The caramel color tends ever so slightly brown (as opposed to yellowish). The satiny lining adds such a touch of elegance, yet I think you could wear this to a sports event or an evening at your town's theater and feel equally at home. As I bring myself to grips with my mature shape (round - that's a shape, right?) I thought the cut and length were very flattering. (I'm 5'2, 145#) The shoulders might be a bit narrow if you carry your weight in your upper body. THANK YOU, Tomas Sota, for this lovely garment. I'll be looking for more additions to my wardrobe.

As soon as I took this out of the box I knew it was an incredibly elegant and well made coat. It’s really warm and looks so stylish!
