Jorge Priori seeks to preserve through his work a tradition that began centuries ago, during the Inca empire. The Incas gave the alpaca an important place in society and religion; alpaca fiber was so highly treasured it was reserved for Inca royalty.

"Our clothes and blankets are created with the 'combed' technique which uses threads of different length and width, with the intention of recreating the type of weave the Incas favored," explains Priori.

Alpaca wool is produced in less quantity per year than cashmere, yet it is considered a luxury fiber because it is as soft as cashmere and has the luster of silk. It is as durable as wool, and the fleece is extraordinarily light and warm.

Good but not great, Feb 22, 2008
By Ridzenite from Brooklyn, NY

I love the softness of this shawl but it's not as big as it seems and does not look expensive enough for this amount of money. Overall - OK.... average.

I received this and could not believe how soft and yet warm this is. I am using it for a wedding as it will be hot during the day but cool at night. This is a keeper!

This shawl feels like a wisper against the skin. It's lightweight, soft and warm. The light green color goes with everything.
