“Gorgeous Christmas Gift”

I bought this for my mother, and it is even more beautiful in person, thanks to the incredibly soft baby alpaca. Red is slightly rusty, just a little and it is more ivory on the pattern than white. My mother is 5 9 a size 10, the large fits her exactly.

“One of my favorite sweaters”

This cardigan is truly fabulous and you can wear it in many ways. Depending on how you wear it, the sweater can be more western cowgirl or Indigenous in its look. I love it with a knit black dress or a long black skirt and top. Add some western boots for greater fun. I loved this one so much that I just ordered the shorter off-white and black trim version. Thank you Wilbur for a great piece of wearable art.

“This alpaca charcoal sweater is glorious and make me happy”

The sweater was made with excellent quality and design. It looks as truthfully as on Novicas website. Natural Charcoal color and softness reminds me antique and unique clothes. Its nice patterns and medium thickness of knitting combined well together. I wear XL and the fit is great. I am grateful Wilber Calapuja and his team for his fabulous design and good work. During winter time, this sweater will keep me warm and cozy. I couldnt be happier, I believe it will last a long time. God Bless You. Tayisiya
