    Story Behind the Art:
    Artisan Alfredo Falcon tells of his craft, 'When I was but a small child I learned from my parents the best weaving techniques. And like me, they had learned them from their own parents. This makes us a family entirely devoted to the world of textiles, and we have been for generations. Nowadays I combine weaving by hand and on classic machinery, remaining true to Inca and colonial motifs. I would like for the world to receive through my work high quality products, with modern colors and traditional motifs.'

Novica
Since 1999, Novica has been connecting artisans around the world by providing them with a network to sell their fine products, often handmade, in regional marketplaces and online. This revolutionary company, whose name comes from the Latin word novus, meaning new, has partnered with National Geographic to create a fair-trade program that benefits artists in a variety of countries. Each artisan can set prices for their products and change them at will, and there are no fees for listing items on Novica's website. This allows the artisans to remain independent and make the most money from their items, whether they sell Novica home decor pieces or craft beautiful canvases sold in the Novica art gallery. Support global artisans when you purchase products for both inside and outside your home, including Novica patio furniture and Novica kitchen linens and decor. You may also learn more about the person who makes your favorite items and the places where they are made.
Sustain Novica's extraordinary fair-trade program when you buy dishes and serveware for your dining table. Novica dinnerware is made of quality materials, including ceramic, porcelain and stoneware, and many plates and bowls feature vibrant colors and exotic patterns that can dress up any kitchen. You'll also want to check out Novica glasses and barware to complement your dinnerware and fit your lifestyle. Look for stunning hand-blown glass goblets you can serve water or fresh lemonade in and be sure to check out the selection of boldly colored shot glasses for your home bar.
No home would be complete without Novica serveware, either. A hand-painted ceramic soup tureen will look great in any kitchen, and a blown-glass pitcher adds an elegant touch to an outdoor party. Impress guests with Novica garden decor, including beautiful iron welcome signs and charming ceramic flowerpots. Novica jewelry also makes a wonderful gift for friends and family, especially handmade Novica bracelets and necklaces.
Because of its partnership with National Geographic, Novica is able to present beautiful images of individual artisans, their products and the places in which they live to customers all over the world. Take advantage of this program and buy unique items from Novica for your home. One purchase will support an artisan's efforts and allow him to continue producing quality products in his homeland.

    • more acrylic than alpaca

      be warned - if you unwrap this cape, looking for soft alpaca comfort and feel, you'll be disappointed. the acrylic rules the fabric mix - it's quite scratchy. I returned the one I ordered, having had found softer wraps/capes elsewhere for same/less price.

    • Very pleased!

      This shawl is lovely...definitely high quality and elegant. It's a bit heavy, but sure to be warm. The styling is simple enough that it can be worn for business, dressier events or with jeans. I know I'll get my money's worth with this purchase!

    • Wonderful

      The coloring is jet black and not a washed out black. Fabric is warm, yet not too heavy. It is so versatile. I've used it as a wrap with formal attire, with a suit for a business function, and with jeans for a basketball game. Easily folds across a chair, in carry- on luggage, or on a grocery cart. Can be used as a blanket on a flight.

    • Great style, but not very soft

      This item is beautiful—Loved the style. It's nice and long and everything about it is great, except that it's rather bulky to pack and the knit is not very soft. I was looking for something to throw in my bag on trips, but the knit is thick, and it's not very warm because of the acrylic content. I have a cashmere wrap that is a similar style. It's much warmer and of course softer. I would like this ruana made in an all natural softer yarn—the style was perfect.

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
