Lovely, warm ruana”

I am very impressed with this garment. The colors and patterns are very intricate. It is finished nicely also. I will enjoy wearing it. The buttons on the sides help give the ruana shape.

I have the ruana in two colors. Love them.”

This ruana has wonderful colors and lightweight. It fits beautifully over layers. It has served outdoors and in office settings--much more versatile than a cardigan! Many compliments on this piece.

Softy, cozy and warm”

This is a very warm and cozy hat. I bought two different colors, black and brown. The only reason I give 4 stars rather than 5 is because it tends to stretch much larger than a snug fit. A double layer reversible style will be ideal.
