I ordered this hat for a niece and another in a different color for her sister. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the hat as well as the fantastic packaging it came in. I carefully unwrapped it to inspect the hat, and then wrapped it right back up in the packaging it came in. I will gift them as is to the girls. Everything about the hat and the packaging screams heirloom quality. I plan to send the information about the artisan to them as well. I am so impressed with the entire experience. I hope the girls will use these hats well into the future. Thank you for a beautiful product Idelsa!!!

I love alpaca, so soft and warm. This knitted hat is soft and airy, holding in warmth while looking good. Highly recommend.
