Felipe Berckholtz selects the warm, soft textures of alpaca in a warm light grey hue for this ruana. The ruana is woven with the wool from the season's first shear, termed baby alpaca and much sought after for its soft, lightweight warmth. The ancient Inca discovered the attributes of this fiber, reserving it for the exclusive use of the aristocracy.

"Soft beautiful and warm"





I love this throw. It is warm and so soft. The color is a gorgeous neutral chocolate brown...very natural and blends perfectly with my existing decor. The fabric drapes elegantly and is obviously high quality. It is a luxurious item that I will treasure for years.
