Shakai – Alpaca Wool Hooded Poncho – Aztec Pattern – Black – Anmeldelser

Winter Warmth. Bold Aztec Pattern. Handmade in Ecuador. Shakai is our warmest Aztec poncho: hooded, generously cut and woven from a baby alpaca wool blend in black with a cream pattern. A hooded pullover poncho in the bold Aztec-style geometric pattern our Otavalo weavers are known for. Baby alpaca fibre is finer and softer than standard alpaca, so this one is warm without itch and drapes rather than bulks. The wooden buttons at the neck let you open the collar on milder days. Why you’ll love it Baby alpaca – finer and softer than standard alpaca, smooth against the skin Real winter weight – a substantial poncho for genuinely cold days Hood and button collar – open it on milder days, close it in the wind Bold Aztec pattern – with hand-tied fringe Hand-woven in Otavalo – fair-trade artisan work from Ecuador Details Material: 80% baby alpaca / 20% acrylic — the acrylic keeps the piece soft, washable and in shape for years Color: Black Size: 55" x 39" (140 x 99 cm) including fringe — one size Weight: approx. 1,100 g / 2.4 lb Features: Attached hood, button collar, hand-tied fringe Made in: Otavalo, Ecuador — fair trade, artisan woven “Baby alpaca” is the name of the finest grade of alpaca fibre, not the age of the animal — alpacas are shorn once a year, like sheep. Warmth Substantial (about 2.4 lb) — this is a proper cold-weather layer, not a summer wrap. Size & fit — one size A poncho has no sleeves or seams to fit, so one size fits almost every adult; your size mainly changes how much of you it covers. One of our widest ponchos. Generous arm coverage on any frame, including 3XL and up. If you're 5'4": hem just below the knee, arms covered to mid-forearm. If you're 6'2": hem at the knee, arms covered past the elbow.

Care Hand wash cold with a mild detergent (or delicate cycle in a mesh bag) Do not bleach or tumble dry Lay flat or hang with support to dry, out of direct sun Steam or low iron with a cloth if needed Handmade, so no two are identical. Each piece is woven and dyed by hand in Otavalo, Ecuador. Colours can be a shade lighter or darker than on screen, and fringe and pattern placement vary slightly — that is the signature of a real artisan piece, not a flaw. Shipping & gift.
