"Beautifully made baby alpaca throw"

This is a beautiful throw, made of very soft baby alpaca and large enough for two to snuggle. This is very finely made. Ive long wished I could purchase another baby alpaca textile since visiting Arequipa a couple of years ago. Its a very special treat to wrap yourself in the gifts of mother nature. Thanks to the master crafts people, Felipe and team!

"Soft as a cloud"

Incredibly soft, beautifully made. This lap robe is the very definition of luxury. A remarkable treasure from the Andes that reminds me how wonderful and generous nature has been to us and how ingenious artisans use their gifts to create these beautiful things.

"Its a privilege, honor and a joy"

Its a privilege, and honor and a joy to have this wonderful scarf. The richness of color, incredible softness, and warmth (in such a lightweight scarf!) are extraordinary. Im very grateful for your aristry, Sr. Berckholtz, and magnificent wool of the alpacas. Please accept my heartfelt thanks. I look forward to buying another as a gift for a special person.
