A classic and beautiful design, this elegant smoke grey poncho is presented by artisan Alfredo Falcon of Peru. The soft and warm garment is knit from 100% alpaca wool.
Alfredo's sales have increased more than three times since starting with Novica. He started with only a few assistants and now can offer work to his helpers and several other women who help fill his orders part-time. Many of the women who work for him are now able to provide essentials for their homes like mattresses, refrigerators, and other appliances.
Over twenty years ago, Alfredo was infected with tuberculosis at just 22 years of age. For nine months, he was bedridden and unable to work. Tuberculosis is a deadly disease with more than 5,000 people per day passing away from the disease. Alfredo survived and was able to become healthy again.
Alfredo currently provides full-time jobs to a single mother, a man trying to fund his education, and several women who are bringing income to their households.
Alfredo currently supports English studies for his four nephews, with the hope that it will help them achieve a better future.
Alfredo was recognized by the city hall for his excellent work.
Thanks Alfredo, was a gift for my wife, she loves it! Elegant, soft, the best quality, we hope to get more of your job soon. Mery Christmas for you and your family.

I ordered the Enchanted Evening in Smoke alpaca poncho because I was cold; not the weather, me. I was browsing Novica on a cold, wet day and thinking of how nice it would be to be warm and I saw it - just looking at it made me feel better. I'm not disappointed. The poncho is beautifully made, soft as can be, and cozy warm - you can still feel the trace of oil in the yarn and it smells delightful of wool. I'm sure I'll treasure it for years to come. Thank you!
