tunic sweaters

Inspired by the flora of the Andes, Maria Cutipa in Peru creates this stunning intarsia knit cardigan sweater. The v-neck sweater is knit of pure alpaca wool in black, avocado, plum and deep orange. Hand-crocheted accents add rich texture to the design.

Known as baby alpaca, the fine alpaca fleece of the season's first shearing is makes this thigh-length sweater coat so irresistibly soft. Peru's Ana Fernandez knits the swirling floral pattern, inspired by 19th-century baroque textiles. This luxurious garment buttons up the front.
