The magnificent Inca Empire left the world a legacy of stunning textiles ornamented with intricate geometric patterns, often in a palette of vibrant hues. As heiress of the ancient Andean culture, Peruvian artisan Maria Cutipa crafts a 100% alpaca cardigan sweater in a kimono style with trendy short sleeves, an open front and elegant fringes dangling from the piece. The garment is also embellished with classic Inca motifs in a warm colour scheme, making this unique design a symbol of the artist's beloved homeland.

The traditional Andean elegance rests in the details that decorate this loomed design by master artisan Fernando Cano. As an inheritor of the ancient techniques that once made the stunning textiles of the Inca Empire, Fernando creates today a gallant pullover made from 100% alpaca yarns. Geometric motifs merge elegantly on a navy base hue, completing the cozy design, which is also equipped with long sleeves and a crew neck.
