warm weather clothing

The most iconic garment to hail from South America is the revered poncho, made for weathering harsh surroundings and staying warm on a winter's day. Husband and wife team, Raquel and Gregor, make their own interpretation of the classic large sheet of fabric, manually weaving this ivory coloured poncho from fine baby alpaca yarn, with nylon added to increase durability, resulting in a lightweight and elegant example.

Perfect for keeping warm during the cold months, this men's cardigan is designed by Peruvian artisan Fernando Cano. He works with soft 100% alpaca yarns, knitting this masculine sweater with intricate wave patterns in azure and sunrise with graphite trim. A button front and shawl collar complete this cold weather necessity.

This elegant poncho is the perfect piece for transitional weather. It's knitted in an alpaca blend in ivory and combines a cable knit pattern across the chest with vertical panels around the body for added structure. A turtleneck design means it will feel extra cozy.

Martin Lazarte first learned to work knitting machines while working at a textile factory. He moved on to work on his own, combining the technical knowledge he acquired with his own designs. Martin now serves in a local nonprofit that teaches other artisans the same skills he once learned as a young man to help them access better job opportunities.
