The magnificent Inca Empire left the world a legacy of stunning textiles ornamented with intricate geometric patterns, often in a palette of vibrant hues. As heiress of the ancient Andean culture, Peruvian artisan Maria Cutipa crafts a 100% alpaca cardigan sweater in a kimono style with trendy short sleeves, an open front and elegant fringes dangling from the piece. The garment is also embellished with classic Inca motifs in a warm color scheme, making this unique design a symbol of the artist's beloved homeland.

Peruvian artisan Adbel Ataurima teams with Cerapio Vallejo to bring us a lovely garment inspired by Andean culture. This cotton blend cardigan is perfect for any occasion, as its design in tones of ivory, green, yellow, flamingo, cherry, magenta and laurel matches a wide range of styles. The traditional details add a unique cultural significance, making this design a tasteful choice.

Made with ancestral techniques to obtain a gorgeous look, this cardigan is the perfect complement to several ensembles.
