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.

Stylish”

Sumptuously soft, snuggly and stylish. A lovely, classic colour combination. The gloves have a slim profile so easy to move in whilst wearing and to undertake necessary tasks whilst keeping hands warm and cosy. Alfredo is certainly a masterful knitter and colorist! Would like to buy more items in the future - maybe a matching scarf? How wonderful it is to wear a piece of handmade Peruvian craftsmanship whilst striding through the streets of London. Thank you to all Novica does to make this possible!

Lovely scarf!”

I just received this -- it does take a while to arrive. But the wait was definitely worth it. This scarf is feather light but very soft and warm. I love it!
