This poncho is so lovely, even though the colors are a lot different from the picture. The colors are much more muted, but I love the Fall colors, the soft material, the excellent workmanship and the drape of it. I have fairly broad shoulders, so I was afraid it might be skimpy on me, but it isnt at all. I think it would be a good fit on a lot of different shapes. Thanks to Novica and this weaver! I hope to buy more items from her.

I just got back from Cusco, Peru. I bought beautiful pillow covers but wanted a few more authentic handwoven items. I KNOW this purse is authentic, and it is well made. I visited weaving cooperatives and recognize the natural colors and designs. It has a sturdy lining and a nice inside pocket with zipper. I use it for my everyday purse, I like the size. I dont like a big purse. It is important to me that the weavers of the Peruvian Andes get support to continue weaving. Tourists have not returned to this area and these traditions will be lost. Plus it is a beautiful purse with rich colors.
The colors in this scarf are amazing in person. I bought this as a gift and the person i gave this to has it on in several pictures so i know she gets good use of it
