Alfredo Falcon of Peru designs this striped acrylic blend ruana with bold colors and a mixture of geometric motifs. A touch of baby alpaca gives adds to the ruana's warmth and feel. Lightweight, the ruana makes a wonderful layering piece.
Alfredo Falcon learned the craft of weaving from his parents, who learned from their parents before them. He says, "We have been a family devoted to the world of textiles for generations. I use modern colors, but I remain true to Incan and colonial motifs."

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.

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.

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!

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!
