mock neck sweater
Material: 100% Certified Peruvian Baby Alpaca by AIA
Weight: 250 g
The mock neck is the cut that adds the most sophistication to a sweater with the least effort: a semi-high collar that gives presence without the discomfort of a full turtleneck. Made of Peruvian baby alpaca and weighing only 250g, this sweater combines that elegant structure with the lightness that makes it wearable from autumn to spring.
Knitted from 100% Peruvian baby alpaca certified by the International Alpaca Association (AIA), it is three times softer than cashmere and completely hypoallergenic. Its light weight and thermoregulating properties make it an all-weather sweater: it provides warmth without accumulating heat.
Hand-finished by Peruvian artisans specializing in the Andean textile tradition, each piece reflects hours of work applied to a fabric that improves with use and over time.
How to wear it: The mock neck eliminates the need for an extra layer. Available in White, Silver, Melange Mustard, and Teal. Wear it alone or under an unbuttoned coat to make the most of the visible collar.
Care: Hand wash with cold water and mild wool detergent. Do not wring. Lay flat to dry.
