Limited Edition Ocean Blue Shawl
Material: 100% Certified Peruvian Baby Alpaca (AIA)
Weight: 290 g
Ocean Blue is the blue that is neither navy nor sky blue — it is the blue of the Pacific Ocean as seen from the coast of Peru, that intermediate tone that changes with the hours of the day. In Peruvian baby alpaca, this color gains a depth and warmth that water never has, but which the natural fiber can provide.
Woven from 100% Peruvian baby alpaca certified by the International Alpaca Association (AIA), this shawl is three times softer than cashmere and completely hypoallergenic. At 290g, it has the perfect weight to drape elegantly over the shoulders and envelop the body with the consistency of a hug.
Hand-finished by Peruvian artisans specializing in Andean textile tradition, each piece in the Limited Edition collection is produced in small quantities to ensure the highest quality.
How to wear it: Sky blue pairs with white, gray, camel, and burgundy. Draped over the shoulders as a wide shawl, tied around the neck, or used as a blanket on long journeys. A piece that effortlessly elevates any outfit.
Care: Hand wash in cold water with mild wool detergent. Do not wring. Lay flat to dry.
