You'll be the hit of the party in this knit poncho by Peruvian artisan Alfredo Falcon. The artisan uses a touch of famously soft baby alpaca for this design. The poncho features a V-neck and a unique semi sheer diamond motif. The poncho's angled cut makes for a flattering silhouette. Baby alpaca refers to the fine fleece from the season's first shearing.

"Well-received Christmas gift!!!"
I ordered three of these in different colors--for my sisters and I this Christmas. They arrived in plenty of time, and were gift wrapped beautifully. Everyone especially loved the little worry doll attached to the ribbon. But the big moment was opening the gift and finding the lovely, lovely poncho inside. My sister is in the clothing industry and not easily impressed ;-) but she had it on in a flash and wore it for the rest of the day! My other sister loved hers too and the three of us (I opened up mine at the same time) shared the wonderful surprised of these very lovely and light, but warm, ponchos. Thank you for the careful work on these and for the beautiful presentation.

"Wonderful delicate poncho"
The quality of this poncho is very nice and holds up well. I usually wear a tank top underneath in the summer and a long sleeve shirt in the winter.

"Not a fan"
This poncho looks beautiful in the picture but it had an odd shape to it when putting it on. I had to send it back.

"So pretty and comfy!"
Beautiful comfortable top with such pretty colors. I usually wear just a solid-colored long-sleeved shirt underneath, works for going out and for just lounging around the house. Just FYI the material is fairly stretchy so if you re between sizes (I m usually between M and L myself) I d say size down!

"This is perfect for Californias version of cold weather!"
I bought this beautiful cape (ruana) several months ago, and Ive worn it non-stop! its flattering, very warm, and so easy to wear without having to deal with sleeves. I love it, Ill wear it until its worn out, and Ill buy another one. My favorite article of outdoor clothing for cool weather. It works when Im dressed casually, and when I dress up. Perfect!
