Story behind the product:
Nestor Yana set up his workshop in order to improve his families life. Now through Novica, he betters the lives of all those he can with work opportunities and assistance. At the same time he has helped garner interest in Alpaca wool. The fashion industry considers alpaca wool to be one of the most exclusive of fibers. It is so versatile it is used in the creation of tweeds and fine gabardines. Alpaca fiber is naturally water resistant and wrinkles less than wool, which makes it ideal for travel. Compared to wool, alpaca fibers are stronger, resilient and of good elasticity.

The appearence of the poncho is excellent. The alpaca wool has a beautiful, soft feel to it. The workmanship is obviously the best. It is one of the nicest gifts I have had the pleasure of giving my wife.
