Charcoal O-neck Sweater “Misti K'uychi”
Material: 100% Certified Peruvian Baby Alpaca (AIA)
Weight: 310 g
Misti K'uychi evokes Peru's most emblematic volcano—El Misti, which dominates the Arequipa skyline with its dark silhouette and snow-capped peak. The charcoal of this sweater has that same presence: deeper than a medium gray, with a visual density that gives weight to the ensemble without the opacity of black.
Woven from 100% Peruvian baby alpaca certified by the International Alpaca Association (AIA), this sweater is three times softer than cashmere and completely hypoallergenic: lanolin-free, ideal for sensitive skin. Its natural hollow fiber thermoregulates body temperature, keeping you warm in winter without overheating in spring.
Finished by hand by Peruvian artisans specializing in Andean textile traditions, each piece reflects hours of work applied to a fabric that improves with use and over the years.
How to wear it: Charcoal is the most sophisticated neutral in a wardrobe: warmer than black, more defined than gray. It pairs with white, camel, burgundy, and navy. Layered under a camel coat or over a turtleneck on intensely cold days.
Care: Hand wash with cold water and mild wool detergent. Do not wring. Dry flat.
