    The Story Behind the Mirror

    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.

Pleasantly surprised

yippee1999 from ny,ny, Jun 23, 2009

When I first saw this in the tightly sealed package I thought "er.... the fabric looks VERY thin (cheap/not warm). But once I took it out and opened it up, while the fabric IS thin, the very attractive subtle pattern in the weave gives it a bit more depth. In addition, while extremely lightweight, it's surprised me how warm it keeps me at my overly-air-conditioned cubicle at work!And the shawl feels SOOOO cozy to wear!Definitely recommend. A perfect neutral color also.

Shawl is a good value. Fabric was very soft and warm. Bought it for a gift, and probably will buy one for myself.
