While hiking in South America’s chilly Andes Mountains, husband-and-wife architects Andrew and Lori discovered the incredibly soft, warm, yet lightweight garments that the indigenous people weave from alpaca fiber. Today they collaborate with artisans in the Andean Quechua communities of Ecuador and Peru, creating original contemporary designs – and sustainable jobs – for the artisans who use centuries-old looms to create accessories and clothing from one of nature’s most versatile and renewable materials.

Lovely beautiful Shawl
A beautiful luxurious shawl in a fabulous shade of blue. So nice I bought my sister one for a present

I definitely would not buy this again. The size is nice, but the material is rough and the black “collar” does not look right with the shawl.

Lovely and warm
The shawl is very attractive, well made, and is a delightfully unusual design. I particularly appreciate the customer service, who after my first order was lost in the mail, got this new order out right away.

I gave it as a gift to my daughter . She loves it. I tried to order 2 more yesterday for my other daughters and was told the sale was over. My catalogue does not have any information about the sale ending. I am very disappointed and spoke at length with one of your operators. I will be glad to se d you a copy of my catalogue to prove my point

Alpaca Poncho
I have yet to be disappointed by Uno Alla Volta and this poncho is no exception.It’s beautifully soft with an expensive looking sheen to it. The knit neck is generous so it equals the expensive look of the alpaca. It’s light to wear, but keeps out the cold. I had looked at it several times, but being on the busty, hippy side of weight, I was concerned it would add pounds. It looks great on!! It’s generous without feeling like it should be a blanket and long enough to look nice (not frumpy) (I’m 5’6”).The sides are open without a closure. The only time I found that to be a problem is when I bend over—then you have to remember to hold the front of the poncho or it joins whatever you’re picking up from the ground. I’ve not done a review before, but feel this item deserves to be complimented because it is a beautiful piece that can be enjoyed whether you’re dressed up or just out running errands. Lori,Thank you for the glowing review!! Our alpaca items are amazingly warm and stylish. So glad you like it!Warm regards,Uno Alla Volta Customer Care

Exactly what I was looking for to wear over evening dresses and blazers that are too bulky for coats. I also purchase the red one which is just as nice.

This is so sophisticated. I live in a mild climate so I will get a lot of use out of this poncho. It is every bit as beautiful as the photo. It is not cumbersome at all. It is beautiful, well made, unique, comfortable.
